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.
