He stated that this was contained  in the  judgment of the appeal on suit No. KWS/LGET/2A/2012 between the Action Congress vs Abdulwaheed Olanipekun and 98 others,  which ordered fresh election into the office of the Offa LG chairman.

Ajidagba  said the commission had no right to disqualify any candidate.  He added that the former Chairman of Offa LG, Mr. Saheed Popoola, and any party registered by the Independent National Electoral Commission had the right to stand for the election, including the newly registered All Progressives Congress.
