The court agrees that the ADC did not comply with the Electoral Act in the conduct of its primaries.

The Federal High Court in Abeokuta has sacked the governorship candidate of the African Democratic Congress in Ogun State, Biyi Otegbeye, and the 26 state assembly candidates of the party.

Mr Aluko held that the primary elections were not monitored by the Independent National Electoral CommissionMr Otegbeye is the anointed candidate of the immediate past governor of the state, Ibikunle Amosun. Mr Amosun is the sitting senator representing Ogun Central district. Although he is seeking reelection under the ruling All Progressives Congress, he is backing Mr Otegbeye of the ADC to thwart the reelection of Governor Dapo Abiodun.

“The court has given judgement in its own wisdom and it is favour of the plaintiff. As you know, this is a contest, one way or the other it has to go the way it goes, but that is not the end of the case, we have applied and we have indicated to the court that we are very interested in having access to the judgement as quick as possible with the view to sit down and analyse the judgement with the view of taking further steps in respect of the judgement.
