The Presidential Election Petitions Tribunal (PEPT), on Wednesday afternoon, ruled that President Bola Tinubu cannot be disqualified from the Nigerian presidential election on the account of the fine imposed on him by a United States court.
According to the Tribunal, what was handed to Tinibu in the US was a civil forfeiture proceeding.
Chairman of the Tribunal, Justice Haruna Tsamani, said President Bola Tinubu and Vice President Kashim Shettma were qualified to contest the February 25 presidential election.
The court thereby upheld the victory of President Tinubu in the 2023 Presidential election
