However, a three-member panel of the appellate court in a judgment on Tuesday, ruled that the Federal High Court, Abuja lacked the jurisdiction to have heard and determined the case filed by Demesuoyefa Kolomo, who described himself as a registered voter and a member of the APC.

The court held that Kolomo lacked the right to file the suit as he was not a participant in APC’s governorship primary.

It proceeded to set aside the Federal High Court judgment, allowed the appeal filed by Sylva and granted all the reliefs sought.

The court also awarded N1million cost in favour of Sylva.

In a separate judgment, the court also allowed a similar appeal filed on the same issue by the APC and equally awarded N1m cost in favour of the APC.
