A Federal High Court in Abuja on Monday dismissed a suit by the Peoples Democratic Party challenging the appointment of placeholders by the presidential candidates of the All Progressives Congress and Labour Party, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu and Peter Obi, respectively.

The PDP had, by the suit marked: FHC/ABJ/CS/1016/2022 challenged the propriety of the nomination of placeholders by the presidential candidates of the APC and LP, claiming among others, that such procedure was unlawful.

Also named with Tinubu, the APC, Obi and LP were Kabiru Masari , Doyin Okupe , and the Independent National Electoral Commission. The PDP contended that the term ‘placeholder’ is unknown to the law in the country, adding that the Electoral Act, 2022 makes no provisions whatsoever for placeholder or temporary running mates.

The party argued that acts of the second , third , fifth and sixth defendants in nominating and forwarding the names of the fourth and seventh defendants as running mates for the 2023 presidential election is valid and subsisting and could not be overridden by the subsequent nomination of Kashim Shettima and Datti Baba-Ahmed.All rights reserved.
