The Court of Appeal, in Abuja on Wednesday, reserved judgment in a fresh appeal brought before it by a governorship aspirant of the APC in the state, Abubakar Achimugu against a judgment of the Federal High Court in Abuja which affirmed Ahmed Ododo as the APC flagbearer for the November 11, 2023 governorship election in Kogi state.
The appeal was against the judgment of Justice Obiora Egwuatu of the Federal High Court, Abuja delivered on 18th July which held that Ahmed Ododo can lawfully continue to fly the flag of the APC in the November 11, 2023 governorship election in Kogi State. Achimugu had approached the high court with a suit seeking to disqualify Ododo from contesting the November 11 governorship election on grounds that he did not resign his employment with the Kogi State public service 30 days before contesting the governorship primary election.
He said the trial court also erred in law when, in dismissing his suit, ignored the uncontroverted evidence regarding credibility of the two purported letters of resignation exhibited by the APC, Ododo and Deedat and expressly rejected his paragraphs 5.2 – 5.
