The Federal High Court in Abuja on Thursday ordered the
Independent National Electoral Commission to restore Mrs. Natasha
Akpoti of the Social Democratic Party as a candidate in the
forthcoming November 16 governorship election in Kogi State.
Justice Folashade Ogunbanjo-Giwa held that INEC acted above the
law by refusing to accept the party and its candidate for the
poll.
She ruled that INEC had no power to disqualify any candidate for
an election without the backing of a court order.
She ordered the Commission to put the SDP logo on the ballot
papers to be used for the election.
