by The Supreme Court has nullified the APC primaries that produced Hon Regina Anyogo as candidate for Yala 1 State Constituency for next week elections
In a Facebook post, First Baba Isa Esq, Counsel to the Appellant, Otanya Odey, held that “the Supreme Court, in a unanimous judgment, agreed with our position and held that the APC primary election that produced Regina Anyogo as candidate is illegal and invalid having been held in Ogoja, outside the Yala 1 State constituency.
“The Cross Appeals filed by both APC and Regina Anyogo were dismissed for being academic.”
Baba-Isa further stated that “the prayer of our client, the Appellant, Victoria Otanya Odey, to be declared the APC Candidate for Yala 1 State Constituency was also refused.
“The Supreme stated repeatedly that the implication is that APC has no candidate for Yala 1 State Constituency in the 2023 General Elections, ” he said.
