The Court of Appeal in Abuja on Friday dismissed an appeal brought before it by Senator Smart Adeyemi, seeking to nullify the primary election of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Kogi State which produced Usman Ododo as the party’s flagbearer in the forthcoming November 11 governorship election.
The court held that the appeal argued by Adekunle Oladapo Otitoju on behalf of Senator Adeyemi was completely bereft of merit and was thrown out. In a unanimous judgement of a three-man panel, the court ruled that Adeyemi who recently represented Kogi West Senatorial District failed woefully to establish all grievous criminal allegations made against the conduct of the primary election by APC and its leaders.

The Socio-Economic Rights and Accountability Project (SERAP) has declared its readiness to approach a court to seek an order to restrain all former Nigerian governors from accessing life pensions while still serving as ministers.
The organisation stated on Friday its X (formerly Twitter) verified page that it will be a waste of public funds for the former governors to still be paid life pensions while serving as ministers and being on the payroll in President Bola Tinubu’s government.
The statement reads: “We’re suing to block former governors Wike, Umahi, Badaru, Matawalle, Lalong, Oyetola, Bagudu and Gaidam from receiving life pensions, free health care, exotic cars and other allowances from their states while serving as ministers.”
