Justice Inyang Eden Ekwo dismissed the suit on six grounds that the plaintiff, a Chieftain of the APC, Moshood Olalekan Adeoti failed to disclose any cause of action.
Adeoti had sought disqualification of the incumbent governor, Gboyega Oyetola from the gubernatorial poll alongside the party on the grounds of failure to follow due process of law during the conduct of the primary election for the nomination of the gubernatorial candidate. But the Judge in his ruling held that CECPC is not the same as the officially recognized APC Constitution upon which anybody can be disqualified.
Justice Ekwo wondered why Adeoti resorted to court action after fully participating in the primary election, scored some votes and lost to Oyetola adding that his action amounted to approbating and reprobating at the same time against the provisions of the law In the originating summons, Adeoti had prayed the court to nullify Oyetola’s candidacy on the grounds that the governor contested in the poll as a member of the party’s Caretaker Extraordinary and Convention Planning Committee .
