The election of Hon. Isiaka Abiodun Akinlade as House of Representatives candidate of All Progressives Congress (APC) for Yewa South/Ipokia Federal Constituency, has been nullified by a Federal High Court sitting in Abeokuta, the Ogun State capital.

Justice O.O.Oguntoyinbo, who presided over the lawsuit by Chief Michael Adebayo Adeleke, aggrieved aspirant, against three defendants, the APC and Isiaq Abiodun Akinlade and INEC, nullified Akinlade's primary by declaring it "irregular and null and void."

He held that Akinlade never paid for an expressed interest and nomination form, neither was he screened by the APC within the time prescribed by the party in respect of the National Assembly primary election for the 2023 election.

The Court directed that a fresh primary be conducted within 40 days to select and nominate an APC candidate for Yewa South and Ipokia Federal Constituency seat 2023.

APC and Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) were also restrained from recognizing Akinlade as a House of Representatives candidate for Yewa South/Ipokia Federal Constituency.
