Edo election: Appeal Court sets aside judgement disqualifying Ize-Iyamu, Audu

The Court of Appeal sitting in Benin on Monday set aside the judgment of the Edo State High Court disqualifying Gani Audu and Pastor Osagie Ize- Iyamu from contesting in the September 19, 2020 Governorship election in Edo State.

The judges O.F.Omoleye, B.A. Georgewill and O.E.Oho also said there is no evidence of credentials forgery on the part of Gani Audu.

The court also holds that the matter is statute-barred as it was filed outside the 14 Days constitutional threshold.
