Court rules on APC leadership tussle

A federal high court in Abuja has dismissed two suits filed by some members of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Kogi state in relation to the disputes over the party’s leadership and its choice of mode of primary to be adopted for selecting candidate for the forthcoming governorship election.

In two judgments Justice Taiwo Taiwo dismissed both suits

The first suit prayed the court to determine the true leaders of the party from the two sets of members of the party in the state, claiming entitlement to its leadership.

The second queried the decision of the APC’s National Working Committee (NWC) to adopt indirect primary in choosing the party’s candidate for the forthcoming governorship election.
