Ondo: Aleredolu Loses Bid To Stop Suit Challenging His Candidacy by SEHHYTEX(m): 2:44am On Dec 17, 2016 |
A Federal High Court in Abuja on Friday
cleared the way for a suit challenging the
emergence of Ondo State Governor-elect,
Olurotimi Akeredolu, as the candidate of the
All Progressives Congress for the recently
concluded governorship election in Ondo
State.
Justice Nnamdi Dimgba, in a ruling,
dismissed the notice of preliminary
objection challenging the competence of the
suit, which was filed by Akeredolu’s co-
aspirant in the APC’s primary, Olusegun
Abraham.
The judge dismissed Akeredolu’s objection
anchored on the ground that he was not
properly served with the court processes.
The judge said the argument was without
merit.
Justice Dimgba, after dismissing
Akeredolu’s objection on Friday, adjourned
till February 2, 2017 for the hearing of the
substantive suit.
The suit marked FHC/ABJ/CS/788/2016
was filed by Abraham through his lawyer,
Prof. Yemi Akinseye-George (SAN).
The plaintiff’s suit is, among others,
challenging the competence of the last
APC’s governorship primary election in
Ondo State held on September 3 this year.
The plaintiff, who raised eight questions for
determination, is praying the court to,
among others, declare that the primary was
held in violation of provisions of the APC’s
Electoral Guidelines for Governorship
Primary Election 2014.
He said the primary also flouted the party’s
constitution and was therefore invalid and
incapable of validly producing Akeredolu as
a candidate.
He also seeks an order setting aside the
primary for alleged non-compliance with
the provisions of the party’s primary
election guidelines and constitution.
Abraham, who emerged second in the
primary, equally asked the court to set
aside the purported submission of
Akeredolu’s name to INEC by Odigie-
Oyegun and the electoral body’s
acceptance of the name as the APC’s
candidate for the forthcoming governorship
election. http://punchng.com/ondo-akeredolu-loses-bid-stop-suit-challenging-candidacy/ |
