The Presidential Election Petition Court (PEPC), on Friday, adjourned further proceedings of the petition of the Allied Peoples’ Movement (APM) against the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), All Progressives Congress (APC), and President Bola Tinubu.

The petition was adjourned to June 9, 2023.

The tribunal on Tuesday adjourned to enable the parties to obtain copies of the judgement in a similar matter of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) versus the APC and Tinubu.

On Friday, the petition was again adjourned on the ground that the counsels had been unable to obtain copies of the Supreme Court judgement which is a similar matter.

APM was in court for proceedings on its suit challenging the February 25 election of Tinubu and Vice President Kashim Shettima.

According to the party’s petition, the withdrawal of Mr. Ibrahim Masari, who was initially nominated as Tinubu’s running mate invalidated Tinubu’s candidacy in view of Section 131(c) and 142 of the 1999 Constitution, as amended.

PEPC led by Justice Haruna Tsammani had consolidated the petition filed by APM with those filled by the Labour Party candidate, Peter Obi and that of the PDP.

However, the court on Tuesday, adjourned APM’s case after its attention was drawn to a recent judgement of the Supreme Court.
