Appeal Court Nullifies APC’s Petition Against PDP Lawmaker In Oyo

-

The Court of Appeal sitting in Ibadan on Monday declared the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) House of Assembly candidate for Ibadan South East Constituency 1, Honourable Rasak Abudulahi as the winner of the State Assembly election.

The Court panel led by Justice Jimi Bada said the case filed by All Progressive Congress (APC) candidate, Najeemdeen Abass Bolaji against Abudulahi of PDP lacked merit.
According to Bada, he said the election of Abdulahi should be upheld.

The counsel to Honourable Abdulahi, Lawyer Tunji Ogunrinde said the first respondent alleged Honourable Abdulahi and PDP of vote-buying and equally alleged INEC of not using Smart Card Reader appropriately.

“INEC did not make use of voters registration during the election but the court pronounced these allegations as blatant lies from the pit of hell,” APC alleged.
