The bid by opposition political parties in Kogi state to stop the forthcoming local government council elections, Tuesday failed, as a High court judge sitting in Koton Karfe , dismissed their application for interlocutory injunction to stop the elections scheduled for May 4.
The coalition of opposition parties had approached the court to restrain the defendants from conducting the May 4 local government election in the state, pending the determination of substantive suit.
In his ruling , the Judge , Justice Alaba Omolaye Ajileye stated that the court cannot grant such application in view of the lateness of the application coming in the eve of election, after enormous preparation and resources committed have been to the project.
