Mr Tinubu was declared the president-elect on 1 March by the electoral commission, INEC, after he defeated 17 other candidates.

has said the victory of the All Progressives Congress presidential candidate, Bola Tinubu, will not stand owing to the “flawed process” of nominating his vice presidential pick, Kashim Shettima.

Apart from APM, the two leading opposition parties – PDP and the Labour Party – have filed separate petitions at the Presidential Election Petition Court in Abuja to challenge the poll which they alleged was marred by widespread irregularities. Political analysts based Mr Tinubu’s initial choice of Mr Masari as a strategy to beat INEC’s deadline of 17 June 2022, for presidential candidates to submit names of their vice presidential picks.

But this has formed one of the major grounds for APM’s complaint over the outcome of the presidential election. Referencing an acknowledgement slip dated 14 July 2022, from INEC’s online portal, the petitioner said the document showed Mr Shettima replaced Mr Masari as APC’s vice presidential candidate.

In a copious reference to Sections 131 and 142 of the constitution, the petitioner said Mr Masari “withdrew his purported nomination thereby invalidating the nomination” of Mr Tinubu as APC’s presidential candidate.
