Senator Smart Afolabi Adeyemi, against the emergence of the candidate of the party, Usman Ododo, at the last primary election of the party.
Delivering judgment in the suit marked “FHC/CS/556/2023 in Smart Adeyemi v. APC & 2 Ors”, Justice James Kolawole Omotosho held that Adeyemi’s allegations were criminal, as he alleged that elections did not hold and that the produced results were forged. The court noted that the burden rests on Senator Adeyemi to produce the forged result or the original results to discharge the burden, adding that failure to discharge the burden “is fatal to the case of the applicant.”
He said, in any case, this evidence was denied by the Respondents, who attached the monitoring reports of the Independent National Electoral Commission , which has the duty to monitor the election.
