Seven State Governors of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) have discontinued the suit filed against the Federal Government at the Supreme Court to challenge the declaration of All Progressives Congress (APC) Presidential Candidate, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu as President-elect.
Gatekeepers News reports that the States; Adamawa, Akwa Ibom, Bayelsa, Delta, Edo, Taraba and Sokoto, had asked the Supreme Court to intervene in the just concluded general elections, claiming that the declaration of Tinubu did not follow the Electoral Act and INEC’s own laid down guidelines, particularly the uploading of results to the IREV through the BVAS.
The State also expressed fear of a potential breakdown of public order and civil disobedience.
The Attorneys-General of the seven States were plaintiffs of the suit while the Attorney General of the Federation was a defendant.
The Notice of Discontinuance signed by the their lawyer, Mike Ozekhome (SAN) on Friday, said “Take notice that the plaintiffs doth hereby wholly discontinue this suit against the defendant herein”.
