Court nullifies PDP’s suit seeking Tinubu, Peter Obi’s disqualification, gives reasons

A Federal High Court sitting in Abuja has dismissed a suit by the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP seeking the disqualification of the Presidential candidates of the APC and Labour Party, Tinubu and Peter Obi.

It was gathered that Justice Donatus Okorowo, the presiding judge on Monday dismissed the suit instituted by the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) seeking to disqualify the All Progressives Congress (APC) presidential candidate, Bola Tinubu, and Labour Party’s Mr Peter Obi over alleged unlawful substitution of their running mates.

It was learnt that the judge held that suit lacked merit and was aimed at irritating opponents in the 2023 presidential election.

Justice Okorowo insisted that the suit filed by a Senior Advocate of Nigeria, SAN, Gordy Uche on behalf of PDP was incompetent and unjustifiable as it disclosed no reasonable cause of action.
