APM Drops Charges Against Tinubu’s Victory At Supreme Court

EKO HOT BLOG reports that the Allied People’s Movement (APM) has withdrawn the appeal filed at the Supreme Court, challenging the election victory of President Bola Tinubu.
The party announced its withdrawal on Monday during the proceedings at the apex court. The appellant’s lawyer, Chukwuma Majukwu Umeh applied to withdraw it.

Following the withdrawal, the Supreme Court dismissed the appeal for lack of merit.

In dismissing the appeal, members of the Supreme Court panel noted that it was a frivolous case because the apex court, in an earlier case of Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) v. INEC and others, resolved the 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.
