A fresh legal battle has emerged following the filing of a notice of appeal at the Court of Appeal, Abuja Division, by Mrs. Abimbola Olajumoke Olawunmi, challenging a recent judgment of the Federal High Court.
The appeal, marked Suit No. FHC/ABJ/CS/2221/2025, lists the All Progressives Congress (APC) as the 1st respondent, the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) as the 2nd respondent, and Hon. Abiodun Abayomi Oyebanji as the 3rd respondent.
According to the notice of appeal, Mrs. Olawunmi is dissatisfied with the judgment delivered on April 15, 2026, by Justice Peter O. Lifu of the Federal High Court. She is seeking to overturn the decision in its entirety.
In the appeal document, the appellant argues that the trial court erred in law when it held that her suit was statute-barred under Section 285(9) of the Constitution. She maintains that the ruling was flawed and has urged the appellate court to set it aside.

The notice indicates that the appeal challenges the whole judgment of the lower court, with detailed grounds and reliefs to be presented during the hearing.
The case is expected to draw attention due to the involvement of key political actors and institutions, as well as its implications for electoral and constitutional interpretation.
No hearing date has been announced as of the time of filing.
