Court Dismisses Suit Seeking Oyetola’s Disqualification In Osun Guber

A Federal High court sitting in Abuja, on Thursday, has dismissed the suit filed by Aregbesola ally, Alhaji Moshood Adeoti, challenging the qualification of Governor Gboyega Oyetola to contest APC primaries.

Justice Inyang Eden Ekwo dismissed the suit on six grounds that the plaintiff, a Chieftain of APC, Moshood Olalekan Adeoti, failed woefully to disclose any cause of action.

The judge held that the suit instituted by the former governorship aspirant constituted a gross abuse of the court process and that the plaintiff did not exhaust the internal mechanism before rushing to court.

Justice Ekwo upheld the arguments of Olusegun Jolaawo SAN that membership of the APC’s Caretaker Extraordinary and Convention Planning Committee (CECPC) by Governor Oyetola in which the suit is predicted is an ad-hoc body and not the real APC’s office recognised by the party’s Constitution.
