KOGI BAYELSA ELECTION: Action Alliance Suffers Participation
Failure to comply with electoral umpire directives on submission of gubernatorial form for Kogi and Bayelsa Governorship race, Action Alliance suffers participation.
Justice Inyang Ekwo of the Federal High Court in Abuja ruled on Monday that the Action Alliance is ineligible to field candidates for the Election.
Justice Ekwo held that the plaintiffs failed to provide evidence that they were on the premises of INEC or attempted to submit their forms before 6pm on September 9, 2019.
In a suit marked, FHC/ABJ/CS/1100/19, the Kogi State governorship candidate, Dr Samuel Alfa and his Bayelsa State counterpart, Ebi Peretiemo, of Action Alliance had jointly filed the suit to seek justice.
