The suit filed by Mr Sadiq Sule-Iko was challenging the nomination of Na’Allah as candidate of the APC Kebbi South Senatorial District. The appellant prayed the appeal court to quash the lower court’s decision. The judgement read by Justice Justice Frederick Oho, dismissed the preliminary objection filed by Respondent and granted the appellant’s prayer for amendment of originating summon. Oho said judges considered arguments and submissions of all parties in the suit and arrived at upholding the lower court’s judgement. The court also faulted Sule-Iko’s counsel for not signing the writ of summons and not supplying valid information to the court.
