According to him, the court had declared that the APC had no candidate in Akoko South-East/South-West Federal Constituency, barring the APC and its candidate from participating in the general elections.
The statement said, “The same said court also barred the Independent National Electoral Commission from having anything whatsoever to do with APC in the house of representatives election.” The party urged the INEC to declare and return Kolawole as “the winner of the election being the candidate that scored the highest number of lawful votes and not the APC candidate, who going by the Federal High Court judgement was not a candidate in the election.”
The party also urged its supporters to remain calm and be law abiding citizens, saying Kolawole will recover and reclaim his mandate in due course.All rights reserved.
