The court on Wednesday dismissed the suit filed by Simeon Ajibola, the candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in the 2015 gubernatorial election in Kwara.

A panel comprising three judges as led by Peter Ige, at the sitting pronounced that Ajibola's appeal against Ahmed's election lacked merit.
