The party is also contending that Tinubu did not have a validly nominated vice president, hence he was not validly sponsored by the APC.

INEC, APC, Bola Tinubu, Kashim Shettima and Kabir Masari were listed as 1st to 5th respondents.

“The third respondent lost his candidacy and was no longer qualified to contest the presidential election. When the fifth respondent withdrew his nomination as the second respondent’s vice presidential candidate for his said presidential election”, the party stated.
