Ondo 2024: Court sanctions transfer of Jimoh Ibrahim’s suit against Aiyedatiwa

The Federal High Court in Abuja has approved the transfer of the case filed by governorship aspirant, Jimoh Ibrahim, against the nomination of Ondo State Governor, Lucky Aiyedatiwa, as the candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC) for the 16 November governorship election, from Abuja to Akure, Ondo State.

Counsels to the APC had earlier filed an application praying the court to effect the transfer in the light of the circumstances surrounding the emergence of the case.

They had argued that since the matter originated from Ondo State and all parties are domiciled in the state, it was appropriate to have the matter treated in the state.
