A High Court of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) in Apo, Abuja has rejected the claim by Niger Delta Affairs Minister, Pastor Usani Uguru Usani as being the governorship candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Cross River State.
Justice Olukayode Adeniyi in his judgment on Monday, dismissed a suit filed by Usani, in which he had, among others, sought to be declared the actual winner of the party’s governorship primary held late last year.
Justice Adeniyi, who resolved all the issues raised by Usani for determination against him, noted that documentary evidence tendered by the claimant and facts in his supporting affidavits showed vital legal flaws, which the court could not overlook.
Usani had, in the suit, prayed the court to compel APC to send his name to INEC, in the place of Senator John Owan Enoh, as its governorship candidate for Cross River State.
