Ondo: Court orders Aiyedatiwa to file defence on suit challenging APC guber primary

Justice Inyang Ekwo of the Federal High Court, Abuja, on Tuesday, ordered the Ondo State Governor, Lucky Aiyedatiwa to present their defence in the suit filed by the Senator representing Ondo South, Jimoh Ibrahim.

The judge gave the directive after counsel for the APC, Tayo Oyetibo (SAN), informed the court that the party had written a letter to the Chief Judge of FHC for the matter to be transferred to the Akure division.

Ibrahim is challenging the outcome of the April 24 primary election that produced Aiyedatiwa as the All Progressives Congress (APC) candidate in the state.
