Presidential Election: APC and Tinubu Files Lawsuit to Restrict LP and PDP on Announcing Results
The All Progressives Congress, the APC party and its presidential candidate, Bola Tinubu, have filed a lawsuit over the announcement of Saturday’s election results.
The action came after the Workers’ Party, the LP, and the Peoples’ Democratic Party, the PDP, demanded that Professor Mahmoud Yacobu remain in the job.
The Chairman of the Independent National Elections Commission presides over the announcement of the results from the states.
The lawsuit filed by APC and Tinubu marked FHC/KN/CS/43/2023 has been filed with the Federal High Court in Kano.
The Action Coalition and the Independent National Electoral Commission joined as accusers; Kashem Shetima, the GPC candidate, is listed as a plaintiff.
The Daily Trust reported that the plaintiffs, in a motion on a notice filed along with the original summons, asked the court to order the defendants to be restrained.
“The damages will not adequately compensate for the injury that would occur to the plaintiffs if the defendants stopped compiling the result,” the suit reads.
Tinubu leads the results table ahead of Atiku Abubakar, PDP, Peter Obi, LP and Rabiu Kwankwaso of NNPP.
