Appeal court nullifies election of APC Reps member
The Speaker, Edo House of Assembly, Mr Kabiru Adjoto, had filed an appeal against the judgment of a lower court that held and declared Akpatason as the party’s candidate in the March 9, National Assembly election, NAN reports.
The tribunal subsequently declared Adjoto, being the candidate who emerged from the party primaries, as the right candidate for the Akoko-Edo Federal Constituency. “The trial court, for reasons best known to it, failed or neglected to make any pronouncement on the live issue before it,” he said. “This appeal is hereby unanimously allowed and the prayers sought by the appellant in the trial court are hereby granted and the sum of N300, 000 is hereby awarded as costs against the 1st and 2nd respondents.”
