In the application filed on Thursday last week by its team of lawyers led by a Senior Advocate of Niger , Wole Olanipekun, the APC asked the Supreme Court to set aside some portions of its judgment. The party also urged the Supreme Court to set aside the portion of its judgment where it ordered the Independent National Electoral Commission to declare as winner of the governorship election, candidates with the highest number of lawful votes.
The APC argued that it was wrong for the Supreme Court to have voided its candidates’ participation in the election, because the judgment by the Federal High Court which disqualified its deputy governorship candidate, was stayed as at when the election was conducted.
