The Supreme court court has struck out an appeal filed by a former chairman of the all progressive congress in kwara state for being incompetent.

The appellant mister isola balogun-fulani is challenging the dissolution of his exco by the national chairman of the apc Mister Adams Oshiomole.

Mister balogun-fulani is contending that his exco has a four year tenure which had not expired before the national chairman of the party dissolved them and set up a caretaker community.

Mister Yusuf Ali on behalf of the appellant mister isola balogun – fulani argued that their appeal should be heard because it is a pre-election matter that has a lifespan of 60 days at the apex court and that it will expire on friday.

Counsel to the apc Mister lateef Fagbemi aligned himself with the national chairman of the party that the appeal has nothing to do with the election other than challenge the powers of the national chairman of the party mister Adams oshiomole to dissolve the exco
Justice bode rhodes-vivour who presided over the five man panel stood down to decide on whether it is a pre-election matter or not.
