Delta APC Judgement: Appeal Court Throws Out Omo-Agege Suit Challenging Candidacy Annulment

The Court of Appeal sitting in Benin, the Edo State Capital, on Friday, March 29, 2019 has dismissed the ex parte motion filled by Senator Ovie Omo-Agege seeking a leave of court to appeal the Federal High Court Judgement which sacked the Prophet Jones Erue-led faction, the Delta State chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC), nullifying the list of its candidates.

Also dismissed is a case filled by the House of Representatives-elect, Rev Francis Ejiroghene Waive.

The Appeal Court in its ruling on Friday dismissed both applications for lacking in merit and thus fined them N300,000 each.

The court said the plaintiffs cannot claimed to be unaware of the case thus they cannot seek to be joined or challenged the judgement, at this moment.

With this judgment, Omo-Agege, Waive whose candidacy had earlier be annulled by the Federal High Court, Asaba have to wait for the party at the National level who are party to the case to appeal the judgement.
