All is now set for the Ruling on the various applications before the special Appeal Panel in matters concerning the PDP factions and Governorship candidates in Ondo State.

The ruling is set for today Thursday 10th November 2016.

Jst. SalauSalauwa ruling is stated:

The special panel of the Appeal Court sitting on the Ondo Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Governorship candidate tussle has dismissed the application of sacked factional chairman, Biyi poroye challenging it’s jurisdiction and asking for its disbandment.

Justice Salauwa says poroye’s application is stinking, has no merit and hereby dismissed.

Two other justices on the panel, Ignatius Agube and George Baba agreed with justice Salauwa that the application is absurd, blackmail, utmost mischief, abuse of court process aimed at annoying the appellant and obstructing justice.

The appeal Court justices added that it is a misnomer for the Appeal Court President to consult with parties before setting up any panel which would undermine his administrative powers as enshrined in the constitution.

The special panel also granted Mr Eyitayo Jegede’s application to appeal justice Okon Abang judgement which ordered the substitution of his name with that of Jimoh Ibrahim as the pdp governorship candidate.

In his lead ruling, justice Salauwa said the application is of merit having critically examined the grounds of appeal and supporting affidavits as well as counters from the other parties.

He said Eyitayo Jegede clearly established with copious evidence that he was affected by the ruling though not a party to the suit having successfully gone through a primaries in Akure.

The two other Justices concurred with justice Salauwa ruling.

The judge in his rulling stated that:

"It smacks of gross incompetence and an irritant. The candidate's right has been adversely affected and has the right to ventilate his grievances. To deny him this right is vexatious and oppressive and an attempt to pervert the course of justice. It is a mischief and the application is dismissed. Eyitayo has the right of appeal. The application is absurd and strange. It is unimaginable.

Hence, Eyitayo is hereby granted right of Appeal by this honourable court."

The two other Justices concurred with justice Salauwa ruling.
