“In the ruling, Omoaje will henceforth represent the Action Alliance in the matter.
“The court also ruled that all documents relating to the case should be served Omoaje who will henceforth represent the party in the suit.
“Udeze had approached the court to seek an order preventing the presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu from contesting the 2023 presidential election.
“Joined in the suit is the Independent National Electoral Commission, (INEC), All Progressives Congress (APC), Bola Ahmed Tinubu and Kashim Shetima.
