Omisore vows to unseat Aregbesola through Supreme Court as Appeal Court upholds judgment

The governorship candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party in Osun State, Senator Iyiola Omisore, has vowed to head for the Supreme Court following the dismissal of his suit by the Court of Appeal in Akure, seeking to upturn the victory of Governor Rauf Aregbesola at the August 2014 governorship election in Osun State.

Omisore spoke through his media aide, Mr. Victor Oriola  to react to the dismissal of his appeal on Thursday.

He said Omisore was not going to let the alleged manipulation of the August 9, 2014 governorship election go without fighting it to the very end.

Court strikes out PDP’s suit seeking to unseat Amechi, Kwankwaso, others

An Abuja Federal High Court on Friday struck out a suit filed by the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), urging the court to sack its five governors who defected to APC.

Delivering his ruling, Justice Gabriel Kolawole, held that the suit's originating processes were invalid because they were wrongly issued and served on the defendants.

``This suit is struck out as the originating summons has been declared invalid.

``It is preposterous, audacious and breathtaking for the plaintiff to argue that the defendants sued individually in personal capacity, could be served through the office of the party to which they defected.
