Festus Ogun, human rights activist has reacted to the Federal High Court ruling which nullified the candidature of the Abia State Governor-elect, Dr Alex Otti and all the candidates of the Labour Party in Abia and Kano states.
DAILY POST had earlier reported that the Federal High Court sitting in Kano, presided over by Justice M N Yunusa, had nullified the candidature of Otti and all the candidates of LP in Abia and Kano.
The court ruled that their emergence wasn’t in compliance with the provisions of the 2022 Electoral Act.
A copy of the judgement delivered by the court was obtained Friday morning by DAILY POST.
Reacting, Ogun, in a tweet via his Twitter handle, branded the court’s judgement as too late, adding that Otti and other LP candidates have been duly elected.
“Too late. They have been duly elected,” Ogun tweeted.
“This judgement cannot affect their emergence in any way and cannot be a ground to challenge their emergence at the Tribunal.”
