In his judgment court, Justice Ayobode Lokulo-Sodipe affirmed the judgment of the high court, dismissing the appeal on the the ground that the appellant failed to file the case at the lower court within the time stipulated by the law.
The appellate court held that the appellant’s suit could not be heard on merit because the Electoral Act and constitution stipulated the time within which such suit should be filed. The court also said the failure of the appellant to key into the period stipulated by the law, which was clearly 14 days after the cause of action, made the case and the appeal nugatory.Kindly share this story:
