The court in a judgment yesterday by a three-member panel held that Justice Taiwo Taiwo of the Federal High Court, Abuja was wrong to have declined jurisdiction to entertain a suit by Jimi Adebisi Lawal.

Lawal in the suit is challenging the PDP’s utilisation of a delegates’ list, in the conduct of the governorship primary election on May 25, 2022 as against the list of delegates, who were democratically elected for that purpose at the ward congresses.

Delivering the lead judgment of the Court of Appeal on Friday, Justice Biobele Georgewill held that the issue in the case is pre-election related, over which the Federal High Court has jurisdiction.

Justice Georgewill proceeded to make an order remitting the case to the Chief Judge of the Federal High Court for the hearing of the case on the merit.
