They said the offence contravenes section 182(1)(i) of the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria 1999 (as amended), which therefore makes Obaseki “not qualified to run or seek the office of the governor of Edo state” in the forthcoming 2020 governorship election.
However, the none appearance of the plaintiffs and the defendant forced the presiding judge, Justice Anwuli Chiekere, to dismissed the case.
