The Court of Appeal in Abuja has disqualified Olusola Ebiseni as the Labour Party’s candidate for the upcoming Ondo State governorship election, scheduled for November 16.
A three-member panel of justices, led by Justice Hamma Barka, unanimously overturned the Federal High Court’s previous decision, which had recognized Ebiseni and Ezekiel Awude as the party’s candidates.
The appeal court’s ruling instructed INEC to reject Ebiseni and Awude, nullifying the Labour Party’s second primary election that selected them.
