The appellate court, in a unanimous judgment of a three-man panel, held on Monday that the appeal by Abdulrafiu Adesina Baruwa, was without merit.
The Court of Appeal agreed with Abiodun’s lawyer, Kehinde Ogunwumiju that the suit was filed outside the 14 days provided for the commencement of pre-election cases under the 4th Alteration of Act of 2017. He insisted that Abiodun was qualified to contest the election, having met the requirements under sections 177 and 182 of the 1999 Constitution.
The judge equally held that Abiodun’s failure to include his university qualification in the Form CF 001 he submitted to INEC could not be used to nullify his nomination in view of the constitutional provision that a minimum qualification of secondary school is required for the governorship election, which Abiodun claimed he possessed.
