Court rejects Sen Adeyemi’s plea to nullify results of Kogi APC guber primary

The Federal High Court in Abuja on Wednesday declined to declare the All Progressives Congress, APC-conducted governorship primary poll invalid ahead of the Kogi state governor election scheduled for November 11.

In a decision written by Justice James Omotosho, the court similarly declined to nullify Ahmed Usman Ododo’s selection as the APC’s candidate for governor.

It determined that a lawsuit brought before it by Senator Smart Adeyemi, a former federal legislator who represented the Kogi West Senatorial District, lacked merit.
