Justice Sanusi said that from the available record at the disposal of the court, the case of the appellant was filed 42 days after the cause of action arose thereby making the suit legally incompetent to be adjudicated upon. Oni also predicated his case on the report of a Commission of Enquiry set up by Ekiti State Government under former Governor Ayodele Fayose which indicated and prohibited Fayemi from holding public office for a period of 10 years.
