Ekiti High Court dismisses an action instituted by Onile Adams against the Labour Party.

Hon. Justice Akintayo of the Ado Ekiti High Court while ruling on the preliminary objection filed by the Labour Party held that the case of Onile Adams as formulated was not justifiable and as such the court lacks the jurisdiction to entertain the case.

Reacting to this judgement, Hon. Michael Opeyemi Bamidele who is the Labour Party standard flagbearer described the judgement as triumph of good over evil. He praised the court’s forthrightness and courage to be on the side of truth and justice even in the face of provocation. Bamidele also praised the Counsels to the Labour Party led by Barr. Lekan Olatawura while urging Mr. Onile Adams and his ilk to stop misinforming the public in their desperate bid to ensure a second term by all means possible.

It will be recalled that a certain Onile Adams who was acting with the active connivance of the outgoing APC administration in the state instituted a suit against the Labour Party, Ekiti State, praying the courts to set aside the state congress of the party held earlier this year as well as all actions taken by the state executive committee.
