Supreme Court Dismisses Nwajiuba’s Suit against Tinubu

The Supreme Court has dismissed an appeal by a former Minister of State for Education, Chukwuemeka Nwajiuba, seeking the disqualification of  Asiwaju Bola Tinubu of the APC as presidential candidates of their political parties.

The apex court threw out the suit for lacking merits and life to support its claims.  .

Justice Inyang Okoro who presided over a five-member panel of Justices of the Court dismissed the appeal after the former Minister withdrew his case when informed that the case was filed outside the time prescribed by law.

Nwajiuba and a civil group, the Rights for All International, a non-governmental organisation, had asked the Supreme Court to cancel the processes that produced Tinubu as candidate  of APC.

He had lost at the Federal High Court and the Court of Appeal both in Abuja on the same ground that his case lacked merit that could make the court look into it.
