Federal High Court sitting in Abuja on Thursday, June 27, affirmed Prince Yusuf Asamah Kadiri, as the deputy governorship candidate of the Labour Party for the upcoming Edo State gubernatorial election.
The case, Suit No. FHC/ABJ/CS/556/2024, was brought before the court by the Labour Party and three others against the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC).
The court’s ruling confirmed that the nomination process of Alhaji Prince Yusuf Asamah Kadiri SAN adhered strictly to the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, the Electoral Act, and subsidiary guidelines, as well as the Labour Party’s constitution.
The judge stated that the Labour Party had “over-complied” with all relevant legal and regulatory frameworks in nominating Alhaji Prince Yusuf Asamah Kadiri SAN.
Consequently, the court ordered INEC to accept and process the substitution of Kadiri as the Labour Party’s Deputy Governorship candidate and to publish his name on the list of candidates for the forthcoming election.
