The Federal High Court sitting in Ibadan, Oyo State, has dismissed a suit challenging the All Progressives Congress (APC) House of Representatives primary election for Egbeda/Ona-Ara Federal Constituency, awarding ₦2 million in favour of the incumbent lawmaker, Akin Alabi.
The suit, marked FHC/IB/CS/63/2026, was instituted by Ashimiu Afeez Adio against the APC and Alabi over the conduct of the party’s primary election in the constituency.
Delivering judgment in the case, Justice Agomoh dismissed the suit and awarded ₦2 million in favour of Alabi, who was listed as one of the defendants.
The ruling effectively brings the legal challenge against the APC primary election for the Egbeda/Ona-Ara Federal Constituency before the court to an end.
However, details of the court’s reasoning for dismissing the suit were not provided in the report announcing the judgment.
Alabi, who represents Egbeda/Ona-Ara Federal Constituency in the House of Representatives, had faced the legal challenge from Adio, who questioned the conduct of the party’s primary election.
