Political activist Deji Adeyanju warned on Monday that the Peter Obi nomination for president of the Labour Party, LP, might not be invalidated by the Presidential Election Petition Tribunal.
Adeyanju had previously stated that the tribunal might not treat Vice President Kashim Shettima same due to a double nomination.
He said in a tweet that the tribunal might render President Bola Tinubu’s bid for a second nomination ineligible.

According to Adeyanju: “Will be extremely surprised if the Presidential Election Petition Tribunal does not invalidate the nomination of Peter Obi by LP in line with the provisions of the EA on membership register.
“The Double nomination of Shettima is also enough to invalidate Tinubu’s candidacy.”
A lawsuit seeking to disqualify Tinubu and Shettima for an alleged double nomination was dismissed by the Supreme Court in May.
The All Progressives Congress (APC) and Shettima both received double nominations for the positions of vice president and senator from Borno Central Senatorial District, the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) argued in its petition to the top court.
