The development followed the judgement of the Appeal Court, Abuja last Friday, which dismissed appeals by Adeyemi and another aspirant, Abubakar Achimugu,
According to Patrick Obahiagbon, secretary of the Kogi APC primary election committee, Ododo scored a total of 78,704 votes to win the primary election with a wide margin while defeating six other contestants, including Adeyemi who got 311 votes.
Adeyemi had approached the federal high court, Abuja insisting that the primary election, which produced Ododo ran foul of Section 177 of the 1999 Constitution and also contrary to Section 29 and 84 of the Electoral Act, as well as Article 20 of the APC constitution.
