Court Confirms Arobo as APC Candidate for Owo/Ose Seat
A Federal High Court in Abuja has confirmed Abdulghani Arobo as the All Progressives Congress (APC) candidate for the Owo/Ose Federal Constituency House of Representatives seat in Ondo. The court's ruling, delivered by Justice Peter Lifu, upheld Arobo's victory in the party's primary election held on May 16, 2026, where he received a total of 7,959 votes in Owo Local Government Area and 2,583 votes in Ose Local Government Area.
The court ordered the APC and the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to recognize Arobo as the lawful winner and to forward his name to INEC as the official candidate. Justice Lifu set aside any other declarations or nominations by the APC that did not include Arobo, emphasizing that he was entitled to be declared the winner based on the majority of lawful votes cast.
The court also directed INEC to re-open its portal to update Arobo's name as the candidate for the upcoming general elections.
