Ekiti Gov Poll: Supreme Court throws-out Oni’s case against Fayemi vanguardngr.com vanguardnews
The apex court, in a unanimous judgment by a five-man panel of Justices, dismissed the suit that was lodged by a former governor of the state, Mr. Segun Oni, who lost the gubernatorial ticket of the All Progressive Congress, APC, to Fayemi.
He officially resigned the position on May 30, 2018, about 18 days after he had secured the APC governorship ticket with a total of 941 votes as against 481 votes that were polled by his closest rivalry, Oni. The Panel’s White Paper which indicted Fayemi and banned him from holding public office for 10 years, was subsequently quashed by a Federal Capital Territory High Court at Bwari.
Dissatisfied with decisions of the lower courts, the former governor, took his case before the Supreme Court where he also lost on Thursday.
