Justice Ekwo held that Onyiloyi, having voluntarily withdrawn his candidacy and deposed to an affidavit to that effect, he ceased in law to hold the same status.

Also, the court held that evidence before it established that Onyiloyi personally wrote a letter to the party, wherein he withdrew from the governorship race.

It noted that the said letter was supported with a court affidavit.

With this, Justice Ekwo ordered the LP to immediately forward the plaintiff’s name to the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, for publication as its lawful deputy governorship candidate for the election.

Furthermore, the court also barred the party from according him any recognition as its deputy governorship candidate.

The court equally issued an order stopping Onyiloyi from further parading himself as the deputy governorship candidate of LP in Benue state.
