Justice Dorcas Agishi in a Judgement on Saturday dismissed the suit for lack of merit, saying the claimant lacks the Locos standing to challenge the APC governorship primaries in the state.

She noted that Dr. Sarpiya did not resign from his place of work 30 days before the primaries, adding that he also withdraw from the race while the contest was ongoing.

Justice Agishi also ruled that Dr. Sarpiya cannot contest the authenticity of the delegates who participated in the exercise because he wasn’t a delegate.

Sarpiya had dragged the All Progressives Congress (APC) and the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to court, challenging the validity of Dr. Yilwatda as the APC governorship candidate.

However, Dr. Nentawe said he has extended the olive branch to Mr. Sarpiya to put everything behind him and join him in ensuring that APC emerges victorious at the state and federal levels.

The APC governorship Candidate expressed gratitude to all those who stood by him during the legal process and said that there is no victor or vanquish at the end of it all.
