flag A Nigerian court ruled Gov. Lucky Aiyedatiwa cannot run for re-election in 2028 due to constitutional term limits.

flag A Federal High Court in Akure has ruled that Ondo State Governor Lucky Aiyedatiwa cannot seek re-election in 2028, stating that doing so would violate Nigeria’s constitutional eight-year limit on gubernatorial tenure. flag Justice Toyin Adegoke based the decision on the Supreme Court’s precedent in Marwa v. Nyako and Section 137(3) of the 1999 Constitution, which restricts a governor to one term, even after assuming office to complete a predecessor’s term. flag The ruling, prompted by a challenge from APC member Akin Egbuwalo, dismissed objections from the governor and other defendants who failed to participate in hearings. flag The court affirmed its authority to interpret constitutional provisions, effectively barring Aiyedatiwa from running in the 2028 election.
