The petitioners claimed that Tinubu did not fulfill the constitutional requirement to have run for office, but they did not specify what that requirement was, the court held in ruling on the respondents’ motion.
Moses Ugo, one of the five panelists, also struck out a few sentences where the petitioners claimed that the Kogi State Governor and a person named Friday Adejo, who is alleged to be the local government chairman in Kogi State, engaged in electoral fraud, despite not including them as parties to the petition.
