A Federal High Court in Abeokuta, Ogun capital, has dismissed three cases filed against the All Progressives Congress (APC) and its governorship candidate, Prince Dapo Abiodun, challenging his victory at the party primaries conducted on May 26, 2022.
Hon Justice Joyce O Abdulmalik dismissed the cases for various reasons ranging from lack of standing to sue, to lack of jurisdiction, incompetence, frivolity, an academic exercise and being statute barred.
The Judge remarked that Mrs Eweje bought a form for a legislative seat and did not buy a form for the governorship. The court awarded a joint costs of ₦2m in favour of 1st and 2nd Defendants for the institution of the suit. Regarding the singular Plaintiff who claimed to be a delegate, the Judge remarked that all the Plaintiffs acknowledged that 4th Defendant is the Chairman of 5th Defendant and yet the document that Plaintiffs showed highlighting the alleged delegate’s name as a delegate was not authenticated by the said 4th Defendant as sent to the National Chairman.
Ruling on objections raised by APC, the court agreed that under the APC Constitution, offences against the party include filing an action against Party or its officials without first exhausting internal remedies.
