In a unanimous judgement delivered by Justice, A. M Lamido, in the appeal marked CA/ABJ/CV/642/2024, the court dismissed an appeal brought by former Deputy Governor Philip Shaibu challenging the May 27th judgement of Justice James Omotosho of Federal High Court, Abuja.
Justice Omotosho had affirmed the nomination of Dr. Ighodalo as the rightful and duly nominated candidate of the PDP in Edo State.
In its ruling, the Appeal Court held that the trial court was right and unassailable in its ruling that the Appellant (Shaibu) did not satisfy the condition precedent before instituting the action, therefore the suit was premature.
