The PEPC dismissed and labeled APM's case to overturn Tinubu's election as "incompetent." The court ruled that the APM's appeal concerned pre-election issues that could only be resolved by the Federal High Court. The verdict was read aloud by the panel's chairman, Justice Haruna Tsammani. The APM petition against the Independent National Electoral Commission and four others was also dismissed by the tribunal. INEC, the All Progressives Congress, Bola Tinubu, Kashim Shettima, and Kabiru Masari are among the first to fifth respondents. The panel made decisions on all of APM's arguments. Tsammani stated that the petitioners failed to show their allegations and that the petition lacked merit. The judge also upheld all of the Respondents' preliminary challenges to the petition's competence. Tsammani ruled that because the petition was about Tinubu's eligibility to run for president, the APM should have gone to court within 14 days following Tinubu's nomination by the APC.
