The Appeal Court has dismissed a stay of proceedings application filed by the governor of Ondo State, Rotimi Akeredolu, in a case challenging his election into office.
A governorship aspirant in the last election, Olusegun Abraham, is challenging the choice of Akeredolu as the flag bearer of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the November 26, 2016 governorship election.
According to Abraham, the primaries which upheld the selection of Akeredolu was fraught with irregularities as affirmed by an investigative committee of the party, which also recommended a repeat of the exercise.
Shortly after the primaries, Abraham sought an interim injunction restraining the Independent National Electoral Commission, from recognising Akeredolu as the governorship candidate of APC in the Ondo election scheduled for November 26, pending the hearing and determination of the motion on notice already filed in the suit.
