Ondo governorship tussle: Court refuses Abraham’s motion

The Federal High Court, Abuja, has refused the ex parte motion of Olusegun Abraham, one of the aspirants of All Progressives Congress (APC) in the Ondo State governorship primary election.
Abraham is asking the court to stop the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) from accepting Rotimi Akeredolu (SAN) as APC authentic candidate for the November 26 election.
The judge, Justice Nnamdi Dimgba, said the matter was sensitive in nature, holding that “it will be fair if all parties to the suit are present in court before order is made”.
Dimgba adjourned case till October 28 for hearing.
Prof. George Akinseyi, counsel to Abraham, joined the APC, Akeredolu and INEC, as defendants in the suit.
Abraham came second in the September 3 primary where the former President of the Nigeria Bar Association (NBA), Akeredolu, emerged as the party’s flagbearer.
