Justice Adegbehingbe asked the plaintiff to serve all parties in the suit instead of coming through a motion exparte.

A member of the PDP, Mr. Olopele Konstante Timi had through his counsel, Akpofiweii Anthony asked the court to disqualify Ajayi over allegation that his certificate was forged.

Olopele, in the suit, said Hon. Ajayi breached the code of conduct for public officers and should therefore be banned from holding any public office for a maximum period of ten years going forward.
