A Federal High Court sitting in Abuja, the Federal capital territory has dismissed an application brought before it by the runner up of the All Progressives Congress (APC) 2016 governorship aspirant, Mr. Seguin Abraham.

The court held that matters can't be heard on originating summon because parties will need to call witnesses and file pleadings. The court submitted that the matter brought before it by Abraham is a contentious matter that needs witnesses.

Abraham is challenging the 2016 primary election which gave the incumbent Governor Oluwarotimi Akeredolu, SAN, the ticket of the party which also secured him the November 26th, 2016 guber elections.

Party leaders and members of the party in the state have called on Abraham to jettison the case and join hands with the governor to move the party forward.
