Justice Banjoko announced, “The appeal marked CA/ABJ/CV/1172/2024 brought by the Labour Party against Chief Olusola Ebiseni and two others is allowed.” This judgment effectively disqualified Ebiseni from participating in the race as the party's candidate.

Adding to the ruling, Justice Banjoko noted that the Certified True Copy of the judgment would soon be provided to all involved parties for a thorough review. Justice Abba Mohammed affirmed the decision in a supportive judgment, aligning with his fellow justices’ standpoint.

It will be recalled that Peter Obi, the party leader, was in Akure some days ago to campaign for Olusola.
