The presidential candidate of All Progressives Congress in the February 25 presidential election, Bola Tinubu, has filed a suit to restrain the Labour Party and the Peoples Democratic Party from halting the collation and announcement of the results by the Independent National Electoral Commission.
In the suit filed before the Federal High Court in Kano and marked FHC/KN/CS/43/2023, the Action Alliance and INEC were joined as defendants while the Vice Presidential candidate of the APC, Kashim Shettima, was also listed as plaintiff.
Naija News reported that the plaintiffs in a motion on notice filed alongside the originating summons asked the court to make the order restraining the defendants from stopping the collation and announcement of the results because “damages will not adequately compensate for the injury that may be occasioned on the Plaintiffs if by the Defendants stop the collation of the result.”
