Shettima Not Guilty Of Double Nomination, Supreme Court Holds by odiks: 6:30pm On May 26, 2023
The supreme court has held that Kashim Shettima, vice president-elect, is not guilty of double nomination as alleged by the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).

A five-member panel of the supreme court said this on Tuesday — while delivering judgment in an appeal filed by the PDP seeking to void the election of Shettima and President-elect Bola Tinubu on the grounds of double nomination.

The opposition party claimed that Shettima was still the APC’s candidate for Borno central senatorial district on July 14 when he accepted the nomination for vice-presidential candidate.

According to the appellants, Shettima dropped his senatorial nomination on July 15.

“Facts is that the fourth respondent who had earlier been nominated by his party as a senatorial candidate was given another option or imperative to be the party’s vice presidential candidate. He accepted the second option with a mindset intention and action to relish the first nomination as senatorial candidate,” Emmanuel Agim, supreme court judge, said.

“The party nominated another person to replace him. His prompt and diligent withdrawal as senatorial candidate demonstrates plainly that he had no intentions designed or plans to hold two nominations…the fact that he withdrew after being nominated as vice president is of no mention.

“Multiple nominations with the electoral act does not occur simply because he accepted a second nomination, the fact that the acceptance was immediately relinquished so as to pave way for another person to replace him as senatorial candidate cannot be overlooked or disregarded.

“We have to be very careful the way we read provisions of facts particularly when they are public interest issues and for presidential requirements where it is broad knowledge where it is very clear that the purpose of the statutory provision is to avoid a situation where the person holds two nominations to have an election as a candidate either in two constituencies or political parties.

“The purpose of that provision is to avoid the situation but where a person has clearly said ‘no I don’t want’, and relinquishes one, I do not think it will be acting in good faith to jump on him and infer something else.

“Above all, there was no double nomination. So it is very wrong to contend that the vice-presidential candidate had a double nomination.”

Case closed. I've been wondering why nobody thought along this lines since this argument started. The guy didn't go into the election standing in 2 constituencies. He relinquished one and INEC only published his name in the VP slot so why all the cacophony of conspiracies?

I'm not surprised the judges choose this common sense path.

That's one of the things they said. The newspaper is giving a full account of what one of the judges (Agim) wrote in his own submission.

We'll get the full judgement in due course

As a legal practitioner, I interpreted the provision of the EA 2022 like the learned Lordship.

There would be double nomination if Shettima went into the elections against Atiku and Obi as a prospective vice President and at the same time stood elections to represent his senatorial district at the red chamber.

Shettima did not contest for two constituencies in the February 25th election and neither did he contest the primaries that produced Tinubu as the flag bearer of the APC. When he was selected as Tinubu's running mate, in good faith, he relinquished the senatorial ticket he had already clinched.

The claim of double nomination is frivolous, malicious and libelous as it never existed ab initio.
