In his short ruling, Justice Lekan Ogunmoye said Fayemi’s request for an interim order could not be granted because the defendants filed a notice of preliminary injunction challenging the competence of the court to hear the substantive suit.

However, the request for accelerated hearing by Fayemi of the case was granted as the court ruled that the substantive suit would now be taken together with the defendant’s preliminary objection on the next adjourned date, July 31.

Defendants in the suit are the governor, Attorney General, Ekiti State House of Assembly, Justice Silas Oyewole (panel chairman), Mr. Gbemiga Adaramola, Mrs. Bolawale Awe, Mr. Idowu Ayenimo, Mr. Omodara Vincent, Mr. Adesoba Oluremi and Mr. Sunday Bamise (panel members).

Justice Ogunmoye, who said he had taken a judicial notice of all processes before him, held that it has been settled in law what the court considers before granting such application.
