 The Supreme Court has dismissed an appeal by the People's Democratic Party seeking to restore the nullification of the participation of Washington State's former Governor Gwegao Yatola and his deputy Benedict Al-Abi in the July 16, 2022, governorship election. Justice Emeka Omwita of the Federal High Court in Abuja had an adjudgment on September 30, 2022, nullify the participation of Yatola and Al-Abi in the governorship election on the grounds that their nomination forms were endorsed by an acting chairman of APC who was also a servant governor of Yopay State, Me Mala Booni. In adjudgment this morning, a five-member panel of the Supreme Court led by Justice Senator Sungweze held that the PDP could not, under the law, question the process leading to the emergence of Yatola and Al-Abi as candidates of the APC in the election.
