The Justice Haruna Tsammani-led five-member Presidential Election Petition Court (PEPC) has adjourned till Friday hearing in the petition by the Allied Peoples Movement (APM), challenging the nomination of Kashim Shettma as a replacement for Kabir Masari as the vice presidential candidate of the All Progressives (APC).

The adjournment is to enable the lawyer to the APM, Shehu Abubakar and other parties obtain copies of the May 26 judgment of the Supreme Court on the appeal by the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) challenging the APC’s nomination of Shettma, which the PDP had termed double nomination.

Abubakar sought the adjournment upon an observation by lawyer to the President, Bola Tinubu and Shettima, Wole Olanipekun (SAN), that the Supreme Court judgment has an effect on the petition by the APM, which deals solely with the same issue of Shettma ‘s nomination.

Olanipekun promised to obtain a CTC of the judgment and make it available to the court within two days. He also said he hopes to meet with the lawyer to the petitioner to know whether, in view of the judgment, the APM will still continue with its case.

Abubakar said he needed time to enable him obtain the judgment, study same to ascertain its effect on his client’s case and decide what further steps to take.

The petition of the APM is one of the three petitions now pending before the PEPC against the February 25 presidential election.
