Court to deliver judgment in Ogun PDP guber suit December 1
AFEDERAL High Court sitting in Abuja, yesterday, fixed December 1, 2022 for judgment in a suit filed by Jimi Lawal, an aggrieved governorship aspirant in the May 25, 2022 Peoples Democratic Party ( PDP) primary election in Ogun State.
Justice Inyang Ekwo fixed the date after counsel to the parties adopted their processes and presented their arguments for and against the suit.
Lawal had sued the PDP, Independent National Electoral Commission ( INEC) and Oladipupo Adebutu as defendants.
At the resumed hearing, yesterday, Lawal’s counsel, Kanu Agabi ( SAN), urged the court to uphold his submission, while Chris Uche ( SAN), who appeared for PDP and Adebutu, prayed the court to grant his preliminary objection and dismiss the suit in its entirety for being frivolous and lacking in merit.
