A suit seeking the disqualification of the Peoples Democratic Party senatorial candidate for the Osun Central Senatorial District has been filed before the Federal High Court in Osogbo.
The plaintiff in the suit, Ibraheem Khalid of Ward 7, Olorunda Local Government Area of Osun State, alleged that the PDP senatorial candidate, Ganiyu Olaoluwa, lacked the requisite academic qualification to stand for election.
Khalid, in the suit, claimed that Olaoluwa did not attend Ikosi High School, Lagos State, between 1982-1988, contrary to the information he allegedly supplied to the Independent National Electoral Commission.
“From the records available in the school, the individual in question, Ganiyu Ayobami Olaoluwa, was not sighted in the school’s register, most especially between the years 1982 and 1988 as claimed by him,” Khalid averred in the affidavit supporting his suit.
The defendants in the suit are Olaoluwa and INEC.
