The Federal High Court in Port Harcourt has struck out a suit by one of the APC governorship aspirants, Bernard Mikko against the APC governorship candidate Tonye Cole, INEC, and Ojukaye Flag-Amachree for lack of jurisdiction.

Recall that Bernard Mikko had asked the court to direct INEC to disqualify Tonye Cole on the claims that the primaries held on May 26 were marred with irregularities and that Mr. Cole has a questionable character following a report of white paper that indicted him. But the presiding judge, Justice Ayua Phoebe said the court lacks the jurisdiction to hear the suit on the grounds that Mr. Mikko failed to exhaust all the internal mechanisms of the party before taking legal action.

Justice Phoebe who described the suit as frivolous and an abuse of court process ruled that Bernard Mikko failed to abide by his earlier oath of allegiance sworn to the APC never to institute any legal action against the party.
