A Federal High Court in Abuja has fixed September 25 this year for hearing in the suit challenging the eligibility of Ekiti State Governor-elect, Kayode Fayemi on the last governorship election in the state.

Justice Nnamdi Dimgba chose the date on Wednesday after granting an application by the plaintiff, Segun Oni, for an amendment to the originating processes.

Earlier, Oni’s lawyer, Anthony Adeniyi told the court that his client has complied with the order for substituted service on the defendants.

Fayemi’s lawyer, Rafiu Balogun, said his client was just served with the court processes and needed time to respond.
He agreed to file his client’s response before the next date.
