Justice Gabriel Kolawole of the Federal High Court, Abuja on Wednesday while delivering his judgement, said that Aidoko was not properly nominated by the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, for the March 2015 National Assembly election and consequently ordered the Independent National Electoral Commission to immediately withdraw the certificate of return issued to Aidoko in 2015.
