Federal High Court Abuja has dismissed suit seeking the disqualification of Osun State governor Adegboyega Oyetola as the All Progressives Congress (APC) candidate, in the July 16 governorship election set to hold in the state.
Justice Inyang Ekwo while delivering stated that the plaintiff Moshood Adeoti, failed to support the process with relevant laws and as such showed no cause of action in the suit, which makes the suit a gross abuse of court process.
Justice Inyang also stated that the suit instituted falls outside the scope of section 87(9) of the Electoral act and section 22 of the 1999 constitution as amended.
