In a judgment on March 29 held that the appellants led by one Memuna Suleiman, lacked the locus standi to have instituted the case before the Federal High Court.
When the case was called, a five-member panel of the Supreme Court noted that the appellants, who were not aspirants at the APC presidential primary could not challenge Tinubu’s nomination.
Upon the court’s observation, lawyer to the appellants applied to withdraw the appeal, following which the court dismissed it.
The court affirmed the decision of the Court of Appeal delivered on February 17.
