Olusegun
Abraham who was the anointed candidate of a former governor of Lagos
State, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu during the APC Ondo primaries has
scaled a hurdle in stopping Akeredolu through judicial means.
Rotimi Akeredolu
A Federal High Court in Abuja on Friday, cleared the way for a suit
challenging the emergence of Ondo State Governor-elect, Oluwarotimi
Odunayo Akeredolu, as the candidate of the All Progressives Congress for
the recently concluded governorship election in Ondo State.
Justice Nnamdi Dimgba, in a ruling, dismissed the notice of
preliminary objection challenging the competence of the suit, which was
filed by Akeredolu’s co-aspirant in the APC’s primary, Olusegun Abraham
according to the Punch.
The judge dismissed Akeredolu’s objection anchored on the ground
that he was not properly served with the court processes. The judge said
the argument was without merit.
Justice Dimgba, after dismissing Akeredolu’s objection on Friday,
adjourned till February 2, 2017 for the hearing of the substantive suit.
The suit marked FHC/ABJ/CS/788/2016 was filed by Abraham through his lawyer, Prof. Yemi Akinseye-George (SAN).
The plaintiff’s suit is, among others, challenging the competence
of the last APC’s governorship primary election in Ondo State held on
September 3 this year.
The plaintiff, who raised eight questions for determination, is
praying the court to, among others, declare that the primary was held in
violation of provisions of the APC’s Electoral Guidelines for
Governorship Primary Election 2014.
He said the primary also flouted the party’s constitution and was
therefore invalid and incapable of validly producing Akeredolu as a
candidate. He also seeks an order setting aside the primary for alleged
non-compliance with the provisions of the party’s primary election
guidelines and constitution.
Abraham, who emerged second in the primary, equally asked the court
to set aside the purported submission of Akeredolu’s name to INEC by
Odigie-Oyegun and the electoral body’s acceptance of the name as the
APC’s candidate for the forthcoming governorship election.
