Nigerian court dismisses lawsuit challenging APC candidates' eligibility in Ondo governorship election.

The Federal High Court in Akure dismissed a lawsuit filed by PDP candidate Agboola Ajayi seeking to disqualify APC candidates Lucky Aiyedatiwa and Olayide Adelami in Ondo's governorship election. Ajayi argued Adelami was ineligible due to inconsistencies in his academic certificates. However, the court ruled that Ajayi lacked legal standing and the suit was filed beyond the required 14-day window, thus lacking jurisdiction.
