Osun: Court Nullifies Nomination Of APC Candidate, Oyetola, Deputy Says Buni violated Constitution


Tunde Oyesina, Abuja

The Federal High Court sitting in Abuja Friday evening nullified the nomination of Governor Isiaka Oyetola and his Deputy Governorship candidate, Benedict Alabi as candidates of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the last guber election in Osun State.

The court premised its judgement  on the ground that Governor Mai Mala Buni who submitted their names to INEC violated the provisions of Section 183 of the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria and Section 82(3) of the Electoral Act 2022.

The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) through its counsel, Kehinde Ogunwumiju had in a suit marked FHC/ABJ/CS/468/2022 dragged Governor Mai Mala Buni and four  others before the court challenging the nomination and sponsorship of Governor Oyetola and his deputy as the duly nominated candidates of the APC.

In challenging the competence of the suit, counsel to Oyetola, Kunle Adegoke (SAN) who contended, amongst other grounds that the plaintiff did not have the locus to commence the action and that the suit was statute-barred.

In arguing to the contrary,  Ogunwumiju (SAN), leading O.M. Atoyebi (SAN) and Ademola Abimbola, submitted that the plaintiff rightly commenced the suit under Section 285(14) (c) of the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria 1999 (as amended).

In its judgment, Justice Emeka Nwite agreed with the submissions of the plaintiff’s counsel and declared as null and void, the nomination of Oyetola and Alabi by the APC.

The court also held that Governor Mai Mala Buni acted in contravention of the provision of Section 183 of the Constitution when he held dual executive positions as the Governor of Yobe State and the Chairman of the National Caretaker Committee of APC.

The court held that the steps or decisions taken by Buni, including forwarding the names of Oyetola and Alabi to INEC, amounted to a nullity in law.

Does this include the convention that produced the present chairman of the party? If so that means the chairman is illegal and every other thing he's done since assuming office is illegal

This has always been the right judgement like I have said many times. The reason Jegede's wasn't upheld was because Buni wasn't a Party to the suit.

However, I think it will be upturned.

There was no technicality employed.justice agim dealt with it meritoriously... In yari vs marafa anor,once a candidate satisfies 177 and doesnt contravene 182,he is qualified.....sponsorship of a candidate is taken during the primaries and not by nation officers...

Paragraph 15: Part 1 of the Third Schedule made under section 153 (1) of the 1999 Constitution empowers INEC to issue guidelines, manual for the Elections. That INEC obtains name(s) from Parties through the National Chairmen is a law made by INEC subject to 153.

Section 183 of the 1999 CFRN prohibits dual Executive Offices.

So, why they base their decisions on the Electoral Act and the Party Constitution is a bit ironic. The Constitution is Supreme.

They are playing safe. Years from now a panel of 7 will vacate same.


That asides, Oyetola's case at the Tribunal will now be stalled as he must firstly vacate this judgement.

(We are talking about like 2 months).

Nothing will be stalled.he will obtained a stay order or appeal.nwosu removal never affected his tribunal case...

We have been through this inec guidelines and law and the apex court has stated that violation of that law can never be a ground for removal.moreover,no guideline was violated.
Again,agim stated that violation of 183 will lead to the removal of a governor alone and not from the other office.furthermore,he stated the disputed office held by buni is an internal party matter which is non justiciable
