Inibehe Reacts To Supreme Court Judgement Dismissing Shettima's Double Nomination Suit

Nigerian lawyer, Inibehe Effiong has reacted after the Supreme Court dismissed Peoples Democratic Party's suit challenging Kashim Shettima's double registration.

In a post on his Twitter page, Effiong said the ruling was predictable.

He wrote:

In law, strategy is important and can make nonsense of the substance of a case if not properly considered

PDP could have persuaded one of the numerous aspirants who participated in the APC primary to challenge Shettima’s double nomination. But it decided to do so on its own.

The outcome was predictable. It wasn’t going to be tenable given the state of the law on pre-election matters.

It is tidier to raise it as a ground in the petition and contend that the double nomination eroded Tinubu/Shettima’s qualification. This case was always a distraction.
