Supreme Court Dismisses Oni’s Suit, Upholds Fayemi’s Victory by Sanromeo(m): 1:16pm On Apr 17, 2019
The Supreme Court on Wednesday dismisses suit by Segun Oni against the Ekiti State Governor, Kayode Fayemi and upheld the latter’s victory.

The court, in a unanimous judgment of a five-man panel, held that the appeal by Oni, was statute barred.

According to Justice Amiru Sanusi, in the lead judgment, the case, being a pre-election one, was not commenced at the trial court, within the required time, as stipulated under the Forth Alteration Act.

Oni, an ex-Governor of Ekiti State had appealed the judgment of the Court of Appeal, which upheld the decision of a Federal High Court, to the effect that his (Oni’s) challenge of Fayemi’s eligibility to contest the last governorship election in the state, was without merit.

This man has 4kd up...he's gradually losing his respect in APC. He should have let it go, of course, he's an automatic aspirant for the APC in the next Ekiti election. Even before then, a ministerial appointment awaits him.

But, with his actions now...he might bottle it!

The title is not correct @moderators.
The court upheld Fayemi's candidacy, not victory.

Oni did not take part in election and so couldn't have contested the other's victory.

He contested Fayemi's eligibility to contest.
