Supreme Court Dismisses LAK Jimoh's Appeal Against Saraki's Election
The Supreme Court yesterday dismissed an appeal filed by Alhaji L.A.K Jimoh challenging the nomination of the former Governor of Kwara Sate, Senator Bukola Saraki as the party's Kwara Central Senatorial district's candidate during the 2011 general election.
The apex court held that Jimoh's appeal "is unmeritorious and it is hereby dismissed."
The court advised the appellant to withdraw the matter forthwith as hearing the appeal will be an exercise in futility. The appeal was eventually dismissed.
The apex court Judges who did not hide their feeling towards the appellant's lawyer scolded the lawyer for bringing such matter before the apex court knowing fully well that such matter terminates at the Court of Appeal by law and procedure.
It would be recalled that the Court of Appeal had earlier upheld the decision of the lower court to the effect that Senator Bukola Saraki was appropriately nominated by his former party, the PDP as the candidate to represent it for the Kwara Central Senatorial District of election in 2011.
With the latest ruling by the apex court, it is finally settled that Senator Bukola Saraki was properly nominated as candidate of People's Democratic Party in 2011.
