The High Court of the Federal Capital Territory in Apo, Abuja, on Friday fixed March 8 for judgment in a suit challenging the eligibility of the All Progressives Congress’ governorship candidate in Og

un State, Mr. Dapo Abiodun, to contest the forthcoming March 9 election in the state.

The judge said the judgment would be delivered on or before March 8, which is barely 24 hours to the governorship election. The plaintiff, through his counsel, Mr. Oluwole Aladedoye, alleged that Abiodun deliberately refused to disclose his university degree in the Form CF.001, an act which the lawyer said amounted to making false declaration of information.

The plaintiff had prayed that upon disqualifying Abiodun from contesting in the election, the court should declare Jimi Lawal, who came second in the APC’s governorship primary in Ogun State, as the party’s candidate in the election.Arguing the case on Friday, Aladedoye said, “It is clear that the second plaintiff has made a false declaration by limiting his educational qualification to WAEC certificate.
