The Appeal Court sitting n Abuja, has ruled in favour of a factional Governorship Candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, in Ogun State, Segun Showunmi, in a case between him, PDP and two others.

According to the lawyers, the implication of the ruling in the suit filed by Showunmi against the party, Ladi Adebutu and co, is that Showunmi remains the candidate of the main opposition party in Ogun State unless otherwise ruled.

The Appellant, Sowunmi, had complained to the lower court that the Ogun State Excutive of the party acted in bias when they allegedly purchased nomination and interest forms for Adebutu, the third respondent, without doing same for the other candidates, who purchased the forms legally, including himself.

The lower court was said to have hastily declined jurisdiction, reportedly relying on Section 285(14) Para (A)-(C) of the 1999 Constitution.

Dissatisfied with the decision of the lower court, the Appellant, Showunmi, immediately appealed the decision through his lawyer, Mawah Monday.

Consequently, upon instruction, his Lawyer, lodged an appeal and formulated three grounds of Appeal, which were allowed on Friday.

The Court of Appeal judgement that lasted over an hour, presided over by Justice Chide Nwaoma Uwa, allowed the appeal and set aside the ruling of the Lower Court.

Buhari Govt Sold Nigeria’s Future, Says Governor Mutfwang

“This government inherited an economy where we simply printed money up to the tune of ₦30 trillion and shared. This government inherited an economy where the crude oil we’re yet to take out of the ground has been sold in advance.

“So when you’re talking about the fall of the naira, it’s not rocket time. We sold our future under the last administration. No wonder you’re hearing of riots today, people intercepting food on the way. We are lucky on the Plateau that perhaps we have more food than many other states.

“And I pray that the time will not come on the Plateau that we will see this kind of riot for food, but it means we must roll over our sleeves and get to work. And that is why, for us as a government, when we announced one of the positions that talked about Food Security, people were laughing but it is a serious issue.” -Governor Caleb Mutfwang, Plateau At Swearing-In Of Special Advisers, Heads Of Govt Agencies
