According to the Court of Appeal, Adeleke’s objection amounted to a challenge of the court’s jurisdiction, ”which could be brought up at any time.” Agim said: “The trial court was wrong to have dismissed the applicant’s objection at the lower court. The issue of lack of jurisdiction can be raised at any point even in an appeal before this court or at the Supreme Court for the first time.” READ ALSO: NAIJ.com upgrades to Legit.ng: a letter from our Editor-in-Chief Bayo Olupohunda Agim also held that the lower court was wrong to have decided against Adeleke’s submission that the instant case is a pre-election matter.
