The plaintiff represented by Hakeem Kareem Esq, principally challenged the validity of the nomination of the current running mates to Tinubu (Shettima), Obi (Datti-Baba Ahmed) and Kwankwaso (Idahosa). jamb results

At the proceeding, there was no legal representation for INEC, Tinubu, Masari and Shettima.

In his preliminary objection, Alex Ejesieme (SAN), who represented LP, Obi and Okupe, argued that the internal affairs of a political party, regarding nomination and sponsorship of its candidate can only be challenged by an aspirant, who validly participated in its primaries.

Ejesieme asked the court to dismiss the suit for want of jurisdiction, for being statute barred (out of time) and for the APM, an opposition party having no legal right to institute the action.

The APC, represented by A.S Ajikobi, also raised objection to the plaintiff suit.

Justice Mohammed adjourned the case to September 7 for mention.
