Ikenne State Constituency: Ogun PDP Calls for Calm, Prepares To Appeal Judgement
The Ogun State chapter of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP has received the judgement passed this morning in suit number FHC/AB/CS/12/2023 at the Federal High Court sitting in Abeokuta with rude shock.
“To our utmost surprise, the judgment was delivered at a time Nigerians feel the judiciary has gone beyond the era of dispensing justice on technical grounds without diligent recourse to the merit of cases before them.”
Ordinarily, “we expect that all matters slated for judicial intervention would be considered on its merit and core substance. We are however surprised that the presiding judge, Justice Adefunmilola Adekemi Demi-Ajayi, in her own wisdom, chose to rule, not minding the rex of the matter before her but on the procedural technicalities of filing the case by the plaintiffs.”
