Breaking: Court Reaffirms Akpata As Labour Party’s Governorship Flagbearer In Edo

A Nigerian court has once again upheld Olumide Akpata as the Labour Party’s (LP) candidate for the upcoming Edo State governorship election.

This ruling, delivered on Wednesday, September 11, 2024, further solidifies Akpata’s position as the party’s flagbearer, following previous legal challenges that questioned his candidacy.

Akpata, a former President of the Nigerian Bar Association (NBA), has gained significant political momentum, and this court decision reinforces his place in the race for the Edo governorship seat.

The ruling is seen as a victory for Akpata and his supporters, marking another step in his journey to contest the Edo governorship under the Labour Party platform.
