Court Confirms Ladipo Johnson as NDC Candidate for Lagos Central
The Federal High Court located in Ikoyi, Lagos, has affirmed Ladipo Johnson as the senatorial candidate for the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC) representing Lagos Central. This ruling was delivered on a Friday by Justice D.
E. Osiagor, who dismissed a suit filed by Babasola Sebanjo that contested the results of the party's primary election which selected Johnson as the candidate. Justice Osiagor stated that the suit was dismissed due to a lack of jurisdiction and merit, thereby validating the internal democratic processes of the NDC.
The judge emphasized that the nomination of candidates for elections is an internal matter for political parties, and courts do not have the authority to intervene in such issues. Consequently, the request made by the plaintiff was denied.
