The Supreme Court has dismissed
the appeal filed by Abdulrafiu Baruwa in the suit Appeal No SC/524/2019,
challenging the eligibility of the Ogun State Governor, Prince Dapo Abiodun, to
contest the governorship election in the State.
Baruwa had challenged the
qualification of Dapo Abiodun on the ground of failure to disclose all his
academic qualifications.
The Court of Appeal in Abuja also
dismissed Baruwa’s appeal on the matter in a ruling by a three-member panel led
by Justice Datti Yahaya.
Not satisfied, Baruwa proceeded
to the Supreme Court.
However, when the matter came up
for hearing at the Supreme Court yesterday, Baruwa’s lawyer, Mr. Kanu Agabi
SAN, deposited that after a review of the position of the law, his client has
instructed that the appeal be withdrawn.
Consequently, Justice Mary Odili
(JSC), who delivered the lead judgement, dismissed the case in a short ruling.
