Party Members Ask Judge To Disqualify Kogi APC Governorship Candidate, Five Others

Two members of the All Progressives Congress (APC) have pleaded with a High Court in Abuja to disqualify the party’s governorship candidate in Kogi State, Ahmed Usman-Ododo, and other public office holders who participated in the 11 April primary election without resigning from their positions.

Mr Usman-Ododo, the Auditor-General for Local Government Areas in the state, backed by the state governor, Yahaya Bello, won the primary election, after other major contenders in the race for the party’s ticket withdrew for him.
