The Federal High Court in Abuja, on Thursday, dismissed a suit challenging the nomination of Hyacinth Alia as the governorship flagbearer of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Benue State.
A former Attorney-General of the Federation and Minister of Justice, Michael Aondoakaa, challenged the validity of the APC’s primary election that produced Mr Alia, a Roman Catholic priest.
The party had held its primary election on 26 May and a rerun on 9 June, with Mr Alia clinching APC’s ticket for next year’s governorship poll in Benue.
