Supreme Court: Shettima Withdrew From Senatorial Election On 6th July,2022 by tinsel(op): 2:51pm On May 27, 2023
The supreme court has accused the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) of using social media to bully and terrorise justices.

Inyang Okoro, justice of the supreme court, spoke on Friday while delivering judgment in an appeal filed by the PDP seeking to void the election of President-elect Bola Tinubu on the grounds that his running mate, Kashim Shettima, was guilty of double nomination.

The five-member panel of the apex court dismissed the appeal and held that the appellant had no locus standi to institute the suit.

Okoro held that the appellant tried to mislead the apex court by claiming that the lower court found that there was indeed a double nomination.



“The appellant stated to this court that the court below found that there was indeed double nomination and that the 4th respondent knowingly allowed himself to be nominated in two constituencies,” Okoro said.

“I have searched the entirety of the record and indeed the judgement of the court below and there is no such finding. To think that learned senior counsel will mislead the court is sad.

“For public policy sake, I must state that indeed the 4th (Shettima) respondent withdrew from the nomination for Borno central district on the 6th of July 2022 exhibited as exhibit APC 1 on page 58 of the record of appeal.


The political party sent to the INEC same 6th of July, 2022 the notice of withdrawal. The political party further sent on the 10th of July 2022, a notification of dates for the conduct of fresh primaries for the senatorial district and the latter letter exhibit APC2 on page 59 of the record carried the reference of Exhibit APC1.

“That is as at the 6th of July, 2022 there was no longer nomination of the 4th respondent for Borno central senatorial distict and there could not have been double nomination on the 14th of July 2022.

“Using the social media to terrorize and bully the justices of the supreme court by the appellant is appalling and unprofessional.

“The appeal is without merit and is dismissed. I abide by the award of cost in the lead judgement.”

Obidients have been trying to give the judgment a different interpretation that the court did not rule on the double nomination but only ruled that PDP has no locus stand and Obi can bring the case to the election tribunal

Obi's case is dead and buried at the Presidential Tribunal as this case of double nomination is about the strongest case he has, other cases are as watery as a fowl's poo. Everything at the tribunal hencedorth is just an academic exercise.

Consolidated? It's not a big deal. It simply means that both pdp and lp petitions have been merged. It will even make things easier for Tribunal, APC and inec sef

He thought Obi and Atiku case would be treated seperately and the SC has already ruled on the double nomination.

I hope Zombidients are reading this. You cannot intimidate the judges, instead you are only getting the judges angry, and they will rule against you in annoyance

Obi is challenging the results in 11 states and he has proof he won in these states. Obi is also challenging the fact that Tinubu did not get 25% in Abuja. He is also challenging INEC for not following its own guidelines. So saying Shettima double nomination is the strongest point is gross foolishness

Yes, since we told you to come out and vote during Lagos governorship, you have been hiding under your grandmas' beds.

Whenever you come out either offline or online, you will meet us prepared and ready to fight

If 25% and winning 11 states are his strongest case, then Obi is the world's biggest clown.

Hide your face in the sand Shameless ostrich, hasn’t Friday come & passed, the Federal Government declared public holiday to stop Peter Obi, & Atiku getting a lashing from the Supreme Court of Nigeria?

Was the appellant not privy to document of INEC, that should be in public record?

Why go to Tribunal to embarrass yourself and your Principal without due diligence.
Except there was forged documentation, you ought to have check INEC' records before going to court.

Obi had no court case on Friday. You see why you're poor physically and in spirit. Such a mischievous fellow
