Peter Obi vs INEC, Tinubu, Shettima and APC: Presidential Election Petition Tribunal - (Part Nine)


PART NINE!

PETER OBI & LP VS INEC, APC, BOLA TINUBU & KASHIM SHETTIMA

PETER OBI’S PETITION PARAGRAPH 13 & 14 READS: Bola Ahmed Tinubu, although not duly sponsored and not qualified, contested along with Peter Obi and others for the office of the President of the FRN. Tinubu was returned by INEC as the winner of the election. 14. Kashim Shettima, although not duly sponsored and thus not qualified, was nominated by Tinubu and APC as the VP candidate of Tinubu and consequently contested on a joint ticket with him and was returned in the election hereby challenged as VP of the FRN.

INEC’s RESPONSE: We deny that Tinubu was not duly sponsored and not qualified to contest the election as alleged in paragraph 13. Tinubu was duly returned as the winner of the presidential election. We admit paragraph 14 of the petition only to the extent that Kashim Shettima contested on a joint ticket with Tinubu and was returned as a winner along with him. Shettima was duly nominated and sponsored to contest the election.

APC’s REPLY: We deny paragraphs 13 and 14 of the petition and shall put the petitioner to the strictest proof of all the spurious allegations contained therein, stating further that Tinubu and Shettima were duly sponsored and eminently qualified to contest the election to the office of the president and VP respectively and returned as winners of the presidential elections.

TINUBU & SHETTIMA’S RESPONSE: Contrary to paragraphs 13 and 14 of the petition, we state that Tinubu is qualified to contest the election and was duly sponsored by APC while his return by INEC as the winner of the election was right, proper, and a manifestation of the democratic plebiscites of Nigerians. Shettima was duly and properly sponsored as the running mate of Tinubu and met all constitutional and statutory requirements. We admit only to the extent that they were duly returned as President-Elect and VP-Elect respectively.
