The Supreme Court on Tuesday ordered the Court of Appeal to continue hearing on the appeal filed by the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) governorship candidate in Ondo State, Eyitayo Jegede, challenging the decision of a federal high court to substitute him with the billionaire businessman, Jimoh Ibrahim, as the party candidate for the November 26 governorship election in the state.
A five-man panel led by the acting Chief Justice of Nigeria, Walter Onnoghen, ordered the court of appeal to continue hearing on the matter.
The court had last week adjourned indefinitely, hearing on the matter, following an application for stay of proceedings filed at the apex court.

Oh finally I got a platform on which I can reach my favorite uncle(Jimmy). Oh how I love you sir… Well my point about ondo polls has always baffled me, I am a prince from akure north lg in ondo state… I keep wondering how Gov. Mimiko believes his candidate could win an election in a state where he owes workers 8 months salary… Ondo people are just too wise to vote for his candidate, mimiko’s act has already convicted jegede… Ibrahim has beta chance than jegeda simply because he’s not associated with the Gov. … Take my words, olushola Oke will win d election, flawlessly…
