An Abuja High Court on Tuesday vacated nomination of Senator Ademola Adeleke as Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) governorship candidate in the September 22 , election
Delivering the judgement, Justice Oathman Musa vacated Senator Adeleke’s nomination on the grounds that Adeleke offended section 177 of the 1999 constitution as amended.
Section 177 of the 1999 constitution as amended stipulated that candidates for the position of governor must be educated up to secondary school level.
Musa said the Court finding revealed that Adeleke entered secondary school in 1976, there was no record to show that he actually graduated as his name was no longer seen in the school’s register from 1980.
