The presiding Justice O.O.Oguntoyinbo also declared as “irregular, null and void” the nomination of Isiaq Akinlade by the All Progressives Congress (APC).
The Court held that Akinlade never paid for an expression interest form or was screened by APC within the time prescribed by the party in respect of National Assembly primary election.
The Court also ordered fresh primary within 40 days to select and nominate candidate for Yewa South and Ipokia Federal Constituency seat 2023.
