Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>The Court of Appeal in Kano has suspended the judgment of a Federal High Court that invalidated the primaries that produced Alex Otti and other Labour Party (LP) candidates in Abia State.<\/p>\n

The decision was made on Saturday by Justice Mbaba, who also granted Alex Otti\u2019s application to appeal as an interested party.<\/p>\n

The judgment of the Federal High Court has been temporarily put on hold pending the hearing and determination of the appeal.<\/p>\n

The Court of Appeal\u2019s order comes in response to the motion for leave filed by the Abia Governor-Elect, seeking permission to appeal as an interested party against the judgment delivered by the Kano Division of the Federal High Court on May 18, 2023, in Suit No. FHC\/KN\/CS\/107\/2023.<\/p>\n

Additionally, the Appellate Court has granted an order for stay and suspension of the judgment issued by Justice Yunusa J. of the lower court.<\/p>\n

This suspension will remain in effect until the appeal, for which leave has been granted, is heard and resolved.<\/p>\n
