Daniel Bwala, the spokesperson for the Atiku Abubakar presidential campaign, has reacted to the nullification of the nomination of Governor Isiaka Oyetola and his Deputy, Benedict Alabi, as candidates of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the Osun governorship election.
Quest Times had earlier reported that Justice Emeka Nwite of the Federal High Court, Abuja, last week, nullified the nominations of Oyetola and his deputy while delivering judgment in the suit filed by the PDP.
Justice Nwite in his judgement held that the nomination of Oyetola and his deputy was unlawful and unconstitutional because Buni, who submitted their names to INEC, violated the provisions of Section 183 of the Constitution and Section 82(3) of the Electoral Act 2022.

Reacting, Bwala in a tweet on Tuesday said this means that the APC does not have candidates in all the governorship, national and state assemblies in the country.
“Going by the decision of the high court that disqualified Gov. Oyetola on the grounds that the APC National Chairman who then acted didn’t qualify to act in that capacity, it means APC DOES NOT HAVE CANDIDATES IN ALL THE GOVERNORSHIP, NATIONAL AND STATE ASSEMBLIES IN THE COUNTRY,” he tweeted.
