2023: Court rules on suit seeking Tinubu, Obi disqualification
The Federal High Court in Abuja has finally ruled on a suit the PDP filed to seek the disqualification of the APC and the LP presidential candidates from the 2023 presidential election for using placeholders before choosing their running mates
Bola Tinubu first chose Kabiru Masari while Peter Obi chose Doyin Okupe. The running mates were later substituted, and the PDP, through its agent, Gordy Uche, a SAN, sued for the presidential candidates’ disqualification.
Ruling, Justice Donatus Okorowo dismissed the suit on Monday, holding that the PDP lacked merit, and was aimed at irritating opponents in the 2023 presidential election.
Justice Okorowo said the suit was incompetent and unjustifiable.
He also said that PDP failed woefully to disclose any injury it suffered in the substitution of running mates carried out by APC and Labour Party.
According to him, the issue of nomination and substitution are internal affairs of parties and that courts have no jurisdiction to dabble into them.
