The Supreme Court has fixed October 23 for Judgment in a suit filed by Senator Smart Adeyemi challenging the validity of the election which produced Usman Ododo as APC’s flag bearer for the November 11 governorship election.
At the day’s hearing of the Appeal, Counsel to Adeyemi, Musibau Adetumbi, adopted his briefs and prayed the court to grant the reliefs sought by Adeyemi.
In his submission, Counsel for the APC, AbdulWahab Mohammed prayed the Court to dismiss Adeyemi’s appeal on the ground that it is against the concurrent findings of fact by the Court of Appeal and the Supreme Court.
Counsel for the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) in adopting his brief of argument, told the apex court that the appeal was incompetent and that the decision of the two lower courts should be affirmed.
After taking the arguments from the parties, Justice Inyang Okoro announced that the final Judgment will be delivered on October 3, 2023
