The appeal court’s ruling upturned the previous ruling of the federal high court and sacked Ebiseni as the governorship standard-bearer of the LP.

TheTalk.NG recalls that in August, the LP leadership disassociated itself from Ebiseni.

The party in a statement by its national publicity secretary, Obiora Ifoh, said Ayo Olorunfemi emerged as its flagbearer in the state’s governorship election after its primaries held in Akure in June.

Ondo: Okunniyi hails appeal court judgement

Meanwhile, following the appeal court’s verdict on Wednesday, November 13, Olabisi Adu Okunniyi, the factional deputy governorship candidate of the LP in the Ondo election 2024, hailed the judgement.

In a terse statement issued by her media office, Okunniyi said the judgement is a victory for the rule of law.

Furthermore, Okunniyi extended the LP’s hands of fellowship to other political parties in Ondo state to align with herself and Olorunfemi, the factional governorship candidate of the LP. According to her, the party is “open to any ideological electoral alliance that will deliver the state from the clutches of the predators of the common people in Ondo state”.

He said Ebiseni believes in a Nigeria rooted in fairness, equity, and justice, adding that the gubernatorial hopeful has what it takes to make Ondo thrive.
