Court to deliver judgment in suit seeking Oyetola’s disqualification July 14

The Abuja Division of the Federal High Court is to deliver judgment in a suit seeking the disqualification of Governor Adegboyega Oyetola as the All Progressives Congress (APC) candidate in the July 16 governorship election holding in the state.

Justice Inyang Ekwo fixed July 14 after counsels for the parties in the suit adopted their processes and presented their arguments.

An APC chieftain, Moshood Adeoti, the plaintiff in the suit, filed the matter through his legal team led by Chiesonu Okpoko, SAN.


In the suit, the plaintiff listed the APC, Mr Oyetola and Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) as first, second and third defendants.

Mr Adeoti, who was an aspirant in the APC governorship primary, in the originating summons filed February 23, prayed the court to nullify Mr Oyetola’s candidacy because he (Oyetola) contested in the poll as a member of the party’s caretaker committee.

He argued that the state’s incumbent governor ought to have resigned his membership in APC’s CECPC and left office at least 30 days before the primary election.

Upon resumption of the matter on Wednesday, Mr Adeoti’s counsel, Mahmud Adesina, SAN, informed that the matter was adjourned for hearing and that he was ready to proceed with the case.

The judge then directed lawyers to the parties to adopt their processes and argued their case.

Dr A. I . Layonu, the lawyer to the APC, argued that Oyetola tendered his resignation letter to the APC as a member of its committee on January 19 and that the party acknowledged its receipt.

Mr Oyetola’s counsel, Olusegun Jolaolu, adopted Mr Layonu’s submission.

Mr Jolaolu urged the court to dismiss the suit as lacking merit and an exercise in futility.

He reemphasised that the governor resigned before the day the primary poll was conducted.

Bashir Abubakar, who appeared for INEC, said though the commission filed a counter-affidavit and a written address, he said he left the outcome of the case to the decision of the court.

But counsel for the plaintiff, Mr Adesina, said “the stories of the first defendant (APC) are misleading and confusing.”

A lot of people from Adeoti camp said Adeoti has upper hand in the court to be favoured in 2 weeks time. Let’s keep our fingers crossed.

Om

Nawao our own man again

Anything to move our darling nation forward is all we want at [/b].

[b]God bless Nigeria

Adeoti -Aregbesola's man just dey waste his time

Peter Obi is a good man with good intentions, not innocent
but far better than most Nigerian politicians.
he can only try to minimize the level of poverty in the country
but can't eradicate poverty totally because corruption is in
every corners of government parastatals.








IRONICALLY..........









Peter Obi can never be president due to tribal and religious
bigotry.



Peter can only win on social media.


Nigeria can never be saved.

Thank God I'm leaving this state before the said election. If the court should stop Oyetola from contesting, then the election would be marred by serious violence.
