A five-member panel of the court unanimously dismissed the suit after Mr Nwajiuba’s legal team withdrew the suit against Bola Tinubu of the APC and Atiku Abubakar of the PDP at Thursday’s proceedings.

The former minister had lost the case at both the Federal High Court and the Court of Appeal as both courts concurrently ruled that it was statute-barred.to Mr Tinubu in June last year.

Mr Nwajiuba, who resigned his ministerial position in the President Muhammadu Buhari-led cabinet to contest the APC’s presidential primary, was the first aspirant to procure the party’s N100 million nomination and expression of interest forms.In his suit, Mr Nwajiuba said he was the only presidential aspirant who met the requirement of section 90 of the Electoral Act, 2022 by disclosing the sources of the funds with which he purchased his APC nomination and expression of interest forms.

He therefore urged the court to disqualify the two candidates and declared him as the only qualified contestant at the APC primary. A three-member panel of the appellate court, in a judgement delivered on 15 February, upheld the decision of the Federal High Court by similarly dismissing the former minister’s suit.

NBA calls for live broadcast of court hearings on Atiku, Obi, others' petitionsThe NBA said, with the confidence of Nigerians in the judiciary at its lowest ebb, broadcasting the hearings of election petitions... Not just NBA, the masses inclusive. Very nice idea 💡 My only concern with live broadcast is given the volatile situation we are in I hope Nigerians who are not family with our legal system not misinterpret words and procedure and start dragging/shaming Justices😂
