Ondo state: bye-bye Agagu, welcome Mimiko
BY SUNDAY FASE/ USA PUBLISHED FEB. 22, 2009
The court of appeal sitting in Benin City has sacked Olusegun Agagu as it declared Dr. Olusegun
Mimiko as the duly elected governor of Ondo State.
“ (1)That the election of the appellant, Dr. Olusegun Agagu, as the governor of Ondo State at the
governorship election of 14th April 2007 be and is hereby nullified. (2) That the first respondent,
Rahman Olusegun Mimiko, having satisfied the requirement of section 179 (2)(a) and (b) of the
Federal Republic of Nigeria 1999 and by virtue of section 147 (2) of the Electoral Act No. 2 of
2006 be and is hereby declared as the governor of Ondo State of Nigeria,”
The court also submitted that it did not found no ground to cancel the election and order re-run
because the governorship election was not embedded with substantial malpractices and
irregularities.
In his emotion laden reaction Dr. Mimiko said ‘we have demonstrated faith in the judiciary, faith in
democracy” as wild jubilation broke out in the streets of Benin as well as Akure the Ondo state
capital.
BY SUNDAY FASE/ USA PUBLISHED FEB. 22, 2009
The court of appeal sitting in Benin City has sacked Olusegun Agagu as it declared Dr. Olusegun
Mimiko as the duly elected governor of Ondo State.
- The five-man panel unanimously upheld the ruling of the Ondo
state election tribunal which had hitherto quashed Agagu’s
election. The learned judges ruled that “ In the final analysis, it is
clear that all the appeals lack merit.”
- In Its ruling the appellate court headed by Justice Umar
Abdullahi said that “the issues canvassed by other appellants in
their respective appeals have also been disposed of in the same
Appeal No. CAB/EPT/342A/08. In the final analysis, it is clear
that all the appeals lack merit. They are accordingly dismissed.
The judgment of the tribunal on the 25th day of July 2008 is
hereby affirmed. It is therefore ordered as follows:
“ (1)That the election of the appellant, Dr. Olusegun Agagu, as the governor of Ondo State at the
governorship election of 14th April 2007 be and is hereby nullified. (2) That the first respondent,
Rahman Olusegun Mimiko, having satisfied the requirement of section 179 (2)(a) and (b) of the
Federal Republic of Nigeria 1999 and by virtue of section 147 (2) of the Electoral Act No. 2 of
2006 be and is hereby declared as the governor of Ondo State of Nigeria,”
The court also submitted that it did not found no ground to cancel the election and order re-run
because the governorship election was not embedded with substantial malpractices and
irregularities.
In his emotion laden reaction Dr. Mimiko said ‘we have demonstrated faith in the judiciary, faith in
democracy” as wild jubilation broke out in the streets of Benin as well as Akure the Ondo state
capital.
