The All Progressives Congress (APC) governorship candidate during the September 19, 2020 election in Edo State, Pastor Osagie Ize-Iyamu, and his running mate, Alhaji Gani Audu, have emerged victorious at the Court of Appeal, Benin.
The three-member panel of the appellate court on Monday set aside the judgment of the Edo High Court, Benin, which disqualified them from participating in the crucial election.
Appeal Court’s Justices O.F.Omoleye, B.A. Georgewill and O.E.Oho unanimously declared that there was no evidence of credentials’ forgery on the part of Audu.

The Judges also declared that the suit was statute-barred since it was filed outside the 14-day constitutional threshold, thereby upholding the appeal of Ize-Iyamu and Audu, while setting aside the judgment of the Edo high court.
