Africa-Press – Nigeria. Justice Inyang Ekwo of the Federal High Court on Thursday in Abuja affirmed the election of Hon. Oladipupo Adebutu as the lawful candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in next year’s governorship election in Ogun State.

Justice Ekwo accordingly dismissed the suit for being incompetent and lacking in merit.
