BREAKING: Alleged Double Nomination: Supreme Court Rejects PDP’s Suit Against Tinubu, Shettima
The suit filed by the People’s Democratic Party’s (PDP) against President Elect, Bola Tinubu and Vice, Kassim Shettima has been rejected by the Supreme Court, concurring that the PDP lacked the legal standing to bring the case forward.
While delivering the judgment, Justice Adamu Jauro expressed the court’s agreement that the PDP had interfered as an unauthorised party, characterising their involvement as that of an unnecessary meddler.
The court emphasised that the matter at hand was an internal affair of the All Progressives Congress (APC) and thus beyond the jurisdiction of the PDP.
Notably, the PDP has been ordered to pay a sum of Two Million Naira, even though the lawsuit itself was dismissed on the grounds of lacking merit.
The justices further denounced the PDP’s conduct, accusing them of intentionally misleading the court and expressing their disappointment with such tactics, deeming them “regrettable.”

US sends troops to Nigeria
The top commander made the confirmation during a press briefing, yesterday, but did not provide further details about the size and scope of their mission.
The general in charge of the U.S. command for Africa (AFRICOM), General Dagvin Anderson, confirmed that United States has sent troops to Nigeria.
The top commander made the confirmation during a press briefing, yesterday, but did not provide further details about the size and scope of their mission.
He emphasised that the decision to send troops to Nigeria was after both countries agreed that more needed to be done to combat the terrorist threat in West Africa.
“That has led to increased collaboration between our nations to include a small US team that brings some unique capabilities from the United States,” General Anderson said.
According to Reuters, Nigeria’s Defense Minister, Christopher Musa, confirmed that a team was working in Nigeria but did not provide further details.
The development is the first acknowledgment of U.S. forces on the ground since US airstrikes targeting terrorists in Nigeria’s North-West on Christmas Day, 2025.
President Donald Trump, who announced that he ordered the airstrikes on what he described as Islamic State targets, had said there could be more U.S. military action in Nigeria.

The State’s Commissioner for Information and Communications, Kingsley Femi Fanwo, told journalists in Lokoja that the move was based on credible intelligence and was taken as a precautionary measure rather than out of fear.
