The Court of Appeal sitting in Lagos has upheld the election of Jesse Okey-Joe Onuakalusi of the Labour Party (LP) as the duly elected House of Representatives’ member for Constituency ll, Oshodi-Isolo, Lagos.

The appellate court, in its unanimous decision delivered on Thursday, dismissed the appeal lodged by the candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Ganiyu Johnson.

The three-member panel held that all the issues raised by the APC candidate were pre-election matters, which the court lacked jurisdiction to entertain.

The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) declared the LP candidate, Onuakalusi, as the winner of the election after he polled 29,386 votes to defeat the All Progressives Congress (APC) candidate, Johnson, who garnered 16,650 votes in the exercise.

Johnson, a former Commissioner for Works and Infrastructure, represented the constituency in the last four years after winning the APC ticket in 2019. He lost his re-election bid to the LP’s Onuakalusi who polled 29,386 votes in the election to his 16,650 votes.

Dissatisfied with the results, Johnson instituted the petition against INEC, which was listed as the first respondent and Onuakalusi and LP who were listed as the second and third respondents in the petition.

Johnson had brought his petition on the following grounds: “That following the conduct of the primaries of LP on May 28th 2022, one Augustine Chiagozie Matthew emerged as the winner of the primaries.

“That LP refused/failed to forward the name of the said Augustine Chiagozie Matthew to INEC as its candidate.

“That the name of said Augustine was not substituted or withdrawn.

“That Jesse Okey-Joe Onuakalusi‘s name is not on the register of members of the LP submitted to INEC as he was not duly sponsored as a candidate by the party.

“That Onuakalusi’s personal particulars in Form EC9 was not submitted prior to the conduct of the elections of February 25, 2023.”

To support his petition, the petitioner called three witnesses and tendered several documents.

In its 100-page judgment on the petition, the tribunal agreed with the second respondent that the challenge to the primaries that produced the said Augustine Chiagozie Matthew has been put to rest by the decision of the Federal High Court and the Supreme Court and same cannot be revived before the tribunal.

On the issue of membership of the second respondent, the tribunal held that this is both a pre and post election issue.

It also held that the secretary of the Okota ward 3 is in a better position to testify as the issue of membership has long been held to be an internal affair of a party.

Alright.

U can't eat ogbono fruit but u can eat uguri fruit

You can eat both. My family has it in one of our farm. It starts producing from five year if you handle it properly. The commercial type is a bit bitter, the test improves as it ages.

Yusman316:
Op instead of you to post pictures of the tree so that those who don't know how it looks will know. The tree is very gigantically tall and the fruits can only be gotten when they fall from the tree

There is commercial type that can produce within 5 year's.

Dyfynezz12:
Ogbono is not ugiri.
Uguri is edible but u can't eat ogbono.
Nd dy seed of ogbono when used in cooking soup draws a lot while uguri doesn't.
Ogbono tree grows mainly in the forest but u can see uguri tree in many homes.

I disagree with you. The name is ugiri in Imo state. The seed in inside is the ogbono. My family currently have ugiri farm (Agriculturally improved) Wild ones still exist.
