Breaking: Akeredolu floors Jegede at Supreme Court

The supreme court sitting in Abuja has dismissed the case of the candidate of the PDP, Eyitayo Jegede.

The apex court said Jegede, the PDP should have joined the Yobe State Governor, Mai Mala Buni in their case.

A seven-member panel of the Supreme Court, led by Justice Mary Peter-Odili chose the time  for today’s hearing for the court’s decision after taking final arguments a moment ago, from lawyers representing parties.

The main appeal, filed by Jegede and his party, are challenging the competence of APC’s sponsorship of Akeredolu for the election. There are also three cross-appeals by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), APC and Akeredolu.
