BREAKING NEWS: Nationwide Jubilation Sparks As Federal High Court Dismisses Suit Against LP Guber Candidate, Akpata ....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶
In an electrifying turn of events, the Federal High Court in Benin City has set the stage for a historic political showdown by dismissing a lawsuit filed by Kenneth Imansuangbon against Labour Party’s star gubernatorial candidate, Olumide Akpata. The Monday, July 15, 2024 ruling declared the suit baseless and speculative, propelling Akpata’s candidacy into the spotlight and sparking nationwide celebrations.
Key points of the judgement include the court’s finding that Imansuangbon failed to exhaust internal dispute resolution mechanisms within the Labour Party before seeking legal action, thus robbing the court of jurisdiction. Additionally, the court declared Imansuangbon’s claim that Akpata had not signed the Indemnity Form as statute-barred, further establishing its lack of jurisdiction. Justice Quadri described the lawsuit as premature and without substantial evidence to support its claims, thereby upholding Olumide Akpata’s position as the Labour Party’s gubernatorial candidate for the upcoming Edo State elections.
The dismissal of the lawsuit has sparked widespread jubilation across the nation, with supporters celebrating Akpata’s victory in court. His proven track record, charisma, kindness, dignity, transparency, impressive CV, and ability to connect with Edolites across all walks of life have endeared him to many. Akpata is seen as a leader with the capacity to operate a transformative leadership, promising a new era of development and progress for Edo State.
As the news of the court’s ruling spread, social media platforms and streets of Edo State were filled with expressions of joy and support for Akpata. The Labour Party candidate’s unwavering commitment to his vision for the state and his respect for due process have only strengthened the belief in his potential to bring about meaningful change. With this legal hurdle now cleared, Akpata’s campaign is expected to gain even more momentum as he continues to garner support from a broad spectrum of Edolites who are eager to see his transformative ideas come to fruition.

A fresh leadership crisis has erupted within the African Democratic Congress (ADC) in Edo State, as a faction of the party announced the suspension of two former governors, two ex-senators and several other members over alleged misconduct.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶
The decision was announced on April 15, 2026, after a meeting of the faction’s State Executive Committee.
Among those suspended are former governors John Odigie-Oyegun and Osareimen Osunbor, as well as former senators Yisa Braimoh and Ehigie Uzamere.
Others affected include Nosa Ehima, former Oredo Local Government chairman; Sylvester Ewanehi, a former state commissioner; Tony Alile, the party’s newly elected Edo chairman; Jafaru Sumaila; Stella Alli; Igieogbe Asemota; and Christopher Ojeikere, the state publicity secretary.
Factional state chairman Kennedy Odion said the suspension followed allegations of insubordination, anti-party conduct and failure to comply with party directives.
He also accused the affected members of setting up parallel structures within the party and engaging in actions capable of causing division and confusion.
According to Odion, the State Executive Committee further found that some of the suspended members were involved in groups not recognised by the party’s constitution.
As part of the disciplinary action, all affected members have been barred from attending meetings, participating in party activities, making decisions on behalf of the ADC, or presenting themselves as party representatives.
The directive also instructed all party organs across Edo State to deny the suspended members recognition and access throughout the suspension period. Local government and ward executives were directed to ensure full compliance and report any breaches.
Odion said each affected member would receive a formal notice detailing the allegations and would be invited to appear before the State Disciplinary Committee to defend themselves, call witnesses and seek representation if necessary.
He added that the disciplinary process would follow the party’s constitutional procedures, while those suspended have the right to appeal within 14 days. Any appeal, he said, would be reviewed and decided within 21 days.
The faction said the suspension takes immediate effect and is binding on all party structures in the state.
