Justice Okorowo ruled that Sylva, having been sworn in twice and served five years as governor of the state.

He said his participation would breach the 1999 constitution as amended if allowed to contest again.

The judge also declared that Sylva was not qualified to run in the November poll because if he wins and is sworn in, he would spend more than eight years in office as governor of the state.

While citing the case of Marwa vs Nyako at the Supreme Court, Justice Okorowo notes that the drafters of the country’s constitution stated that nobody should be voted for as governor more than twice and that the parties to the suit agreed that Sylva was voted into office two times.

He further stated that the Supreme Court ruled in the case of Marwa vs Nyako that nobody can expand the constitution or its scope. So, if Sylva is allowed to contest the next election, it means a person can contest as many times as he wishes.

The suit was filed on June 13, 2023, by Mr Deme Kolomo, a member of the APC.
