Seeking to nullify the election of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, the Allied Peoples Movement (APM) on Wednesday closed its case after its lone witness appeared before the Presidential Election Petition Court (PEPC) in Abuja.

While the proceedings lasted, the witness, Aisha Abubakar, who identified herself as the Assistant Welfare Director of the party, tendered seven batches of documentary evidence before the court to establish its case that Tinubu was not qualified to participate in the 2023 presidential election.

Interestingly, all the respondents in the matter did not oppose the admissibility of the documents, which the PEPC, presided over by Justice Haruna, admitted in evidence and marked as exhibits.

Respondents in the petition are the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), President Tinubu, Vice President Kashim Shettima, the All Progressives Congress (APC) and Mr Ibrahim Masari.
