By Dayo Johnson AkureJustice Joyce Abdulmalik of the Federal High Court, Abuja, has dismissed a suit filed by APC aspirant, Mr. Matthew Oyerinmade, challenging the emergence of Hon.
The case was dismissed after Oyerinmade sought to withdraw the suit “for personal reasons.”
The court dismissed the suit and made no order as to cost, effectively ending Oyerinmade’s legal challenge against Adefiranye’s candidacy.
Oyerinmade was among the aspirants backed by Ondo State Governor, Lucky Aiyedatiwa, who contested for the APC National Assembly ticket but lost in the primaries.
They noted that the judge did not allow withdrawal but dismissed the suit after upholding the defence’s argument that issues had been joined.
