The Presidential Election Petition Court (PEPC) has struck out some aspects of the petition by Atiku Abubakar and the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) including that where they claimed President Bola Tinubu was qualified to contest the last presidential election.
In a ruling, on some motion by the respondents, the court held that while the petitioners claimed that Tinubu did not meet constitutional threshold to have contested the election, they failed stated what the required qualification was.
The court also struck out some paragraphs where the petitioners accused Governor Yahaya Bello of Kogi State and one Friday Adejo (described as a Local Government Chairman in Kogi State), but failed to join them as parties to the petition.
It equally struck out some other paragraphs where it found that the petitioners made vague allegations of irregularities and malpractices.
