The Federal High Court in Benin, Edo State, on Monday adjourned a ruling to July 6 to decide either to drop or continue with the case on the direct mode of primary adopted by the National Working Comm
ittee of the All Progressives Congress for the nomination of the party’s governorship candidate.
The defendants in the suit are APC, Adams Oshiomhole, the Independent National Electoral Commission and the Inspector General of Police, Mohammed Adamu. At the resumed hearing on Monday, Counsel for the 2nd defendant, Roland Otaru , said he was not satisfied with the ruling of the Appeal Court of June 18 and has decided to approach the Supreme Court for further interpretations.“What happened in court today is that I applied for the stay of further proceedings predetermination of my appeal against the decision of the Court of Appeal which was delivered on the 18th of June 2020 to the Supreme Court.
“We are appealing against it because my appeal was struck out at the Court of Appeal because they said I appealed in respect of the substantive matter. I now said I was dissatisfied with that judgment because what I appealed upon was the issue of jurisdiction.
