Sen. Smart Adeyemi, (APC, Kogi West), Shuaibu Abubakar and three others have approached the Federal High Court, Abuja, demanding an immediate cancellation of the All Progressives Congress (APC) governorship primary in Kogi.
The suits are marked: FHC/ABJ/CS/556/2023 and FHC/ABJ/ CS/557/2023 and were filed by Mr Adekunle Otitoju on behalf of Adeyemi and Abubakar, who is the son of former governor of Kogi, Abubakar Audu.
The plaintiffs are asking the court to declare the purported direct primary election conducted by APC which produced Mr Ahmed Ododo as the governorship candidate of the party as illegal.
