The President-elect, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, has asked the Presidential Election Petition Court, sitting in Abuja to dismiss the petition by the Allied Peoples Movement, APM, seeking to nullify his election victory.
Tinubu, through his team of lawyers led by Chief Akin Olujinmi, SAN, maintained that the petition was void of merit and substance.
The APC had on May 8, filed a preliminary objection to challenge the competence of the petition which it urged the court to dismiss in its entirety for lacking in merit.
Similarly, both Tinubu and Shettima, who are 3rd and 4th respondents, asked the court to either strike out or dismiss the petition.
Tinubu stressed that the petitioner failed to establish a reasonable cause of action to warrant the nullification of his election victory.
