2023: We’ll appeal court judgement sacking Otegbeye, others – Ogun ADC
The African Democratic Congress (ADC) said it would appeal the judgment of an Abeokuta Federal High Court, which nullified the nomination of Barr Biyi Otegbeye as the party’s governorship candidate in Ogun State.
It was reported earlier that the court ordered the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to expunge the name of Otegbeye and those of the 26 ADC assembly candidates from its list of candidates for the 2023 general elections in Ogun.
