A Federal High Court in Akure, Ondo State, on Thursday, sacked the Akoko South East/South West Federal constituency candidate, Otunba Adegboyega Adefarati
Adegboyega sacking comes after a petition by one of the aspirants, Dr Victor Ategbole, and others to court alleging that the APC did not conduct a valid primary election in the federal constituency.
Agreeing with the petitioners, the judge, ordered the All Progressive Party, to notify Independent Electoral Commission for fresh primary election to be conduct at the early approved venue (St Patrick’s College, Iwaro Oka) within the federal constituency.
He also ordered the electoral commission to henceforth stop the recognition of Otunba Adegboyega Adefarati as the candidate of the party.
The declaration of the APC primary result was allegedly made at the Dome, Akure in favour of Adegboyega Adefarati.
