Supreme Court Delivers Final Ruling On Oyebanji’s APC Candidacy For Ekiti Election
The Supreme Court on Friday affirmed the nomination of Ekiti State Governor, Biodun Oyebanji, as the All Progressives Congress (APC) candidate in the June 20 governorship election.
The apex court, in a unanimous judgment delivered by a five-member panel, dismissed the case initiated by a party aspirant, Mrs Abimbola Olawumi’s appeal, describing it as lacking merit.
The decision upheld the earlier judgment of the Court of Appeal delivered on June 18, which validated Oyebanji’s emergence as the APC flag bearer.
NEWSNGR recalls that Olawumi alleged that she was unlawfully excluded from participating in the nomination process and asked the court to invalidate the outcome of the primary and nullify Oyebanji’s candidacy.
