Supreme Court Dismisses Fresh Suit Against Tinubu’s Win

The Supreme Court has dismissed the appeal filed by the Allied Peoples Movement (APM) challenging the nomination of Kashim Shettima as the Vice Presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the last presidential election.

A seven-member panel, headed by Justice John Okoro, pronounced the dismissal of the appeal after the appellant’s lawyer, Chukwuma Majukwu Umeh applied to withdraw it.

Members of the panel had, at the mention of the appeal, noted that it was frivolous because the Supreme Court had, in an earlier case of Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) v. INEC and others resolved this issue that Shettima was properly nominated.

Justice Okoro pointedly asked Umeh what he thought his client would benefit from the outcome of the case, if not only to further overburden the court.

Umeh had made efforts to distinguish his client’s case from that if the PDP v. INEC and others, but later, had a change of mind when Justice Okoro insisted that the appeal lacked any utilitarian value.
