In a Facebook post, Barrister First Baba Isa, Counsel to the Appellant, Otanya Odey, “the Supreme Court, in a unanimous judgment, agreed with our position and held that the APC primary election that produced Regina Anyogo as candidate is illegal and invalid having been held in Ogoja, outside the Yala 1 State constituency.

“The Cross Appeals filed by both APC and Regina Anyogo were dismissed for being academic.”

Barrister Baba-Isa also added that “the prayer of our client, the Appellant, Victoria Otanya Odey, to be declared the APC Candidate for Yala 1 State Constituency was also refused.

“The Supreme stated repeatedly that the implication is that APC has no candidate for Yala 1 State Constituency in the 2023 General Elections, ” he said.
