The Court of Appeal in Abuja has affirmed Olumide Akpata as the Labour Party’s governorship candidate for the upcoming September 21 election in Edo State.
This decision follows the dismissal of a suit in June by Justice James Omotosho of the Federal High Court, Abuja, which sought to invalidate Akpata’s nomination.
Justice Omotosho’s ruling upheld the argument presented by Akpata’s lawyer, Johnson Usman, SAN, stating that the plaintiffs lacked the legal standing to challenge the nomination.
