The Certified True Copy (CTC) of Kashim Shettima’s voluntary resignation letter from his position as the All Progressives Congress (APC) candidate for Borno Central senatorial district was admitted into evidence by the Presidential Election Petition Court (PEPC) on Wednesday.
The letter, dated July 6, 2022, was one of several papers presented by attorney Wole Olanipekun (SAN) to President Bola Tinubu and Vice President Kashim Shettima at the start of their defence against the petition filed by Peter Obi and the Labour Party (LP).
The petitioners are challenging the competence of the joint ticket of Tinubu and Shettma, claiming that Shettima had double nomination.
The letter is intended to prove that the Vice President resigned his senatorial candidacy before his selection as the vice presidential candidate of the APC.
