The commission opened and closed its case against the petitioners after calling Mr. Lawrence Bayode and tendering some documentary exhibits in evidence.
One of the documents was a letter dated July 6, 2022, which Vice President Kashim Shettima wrote to the commission.
The letter was the notification of his decision to withdraw his candidature for senate under the platform of the All Progressives Congress (APC) for the Borno central senatorial seat.
