The Federal High Court sitting in
Abuja has refused prayer by Ondo State Governor Oluwarotimi Akeredolu and the
All Progressives Congress, APC to dismiss a suit seeking the governor’s removal
from office.
The suit was filed by Olusegun
Abraham, who was the first runner-up in the party’s governorship primary in the
state in 2016.
Justice Nnamdi Dimgba, while
delivering his verdict on Friday, dismissed the separate objection filed by
Akeredolu and his party.
Justice Dimgba, rather than dismissing
the suit as prayed by the Governor and the ruling party, ordered that the
matter be properly commenced via a writ of summons.
Justice Dimgba ordered parties to
file their pleadings and all necessary processes in the suit on or before
November 30.
He adjourned till December 6 and
7 for the hearing.
