Appeal Court Judgment: Dapo Lam Floors Ladoja's Accord Party Again

The Appeal court sitting in Ibadan has delivered her judgment in an appeal filed by the candidate of Accord, Gbenga Adewusi against the March 28th victory of Hon. Dapo Lam-Adesina who represents Ibadan North East-South East federal constituency.
