The Court of Appeal in Abuja has reserved judgement in the appeal by former lawmaker, Smart Adeyemi against a judgment that upheld the primary election of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Kogi State which produced Ahmed Ododo as the party’s governorship candidate November 11 election.
Adeyemi is appealing against a July 12 judgment by Justice James Omotosho of the Federal High Court, Abuja on the grounds that the trial court erred in law in reaching its conclusions on issues raised.
He argued that the trial court failed to properly evaluate the proof of evidence that was placed before it by the parties and that, there were inconsistencies in the report tendered by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) and the affidavit that the APC deposed to.
Justice Muhammed Shuaibu, who led a three-member panel of the appellate court, told lawyers to parties, after their final submissions, that they will be informed when the judgment is ready.
