The plaintiffs during an interview with newsmen outside the Federal High Court in Abuja, where the suits were filed, called on President Muhammadu Buhari, the President-elect, Bola Tinubu, Vice President-elect, Senator Kashim Shettima and the Arewa Consultative Forum to intervene in order to save democracy in Kogi State.
In their separate suits, the plaintiffs are asking the court to declare as illegal, unlawful and invalid the purported Direct Primary election said to have been conducted by APC and which produced Ahmed Ododo as the governorship candidate of the APC for November election.
The grouse of the aggrieved governorship aspirants was that the alleged unlawful selection of Ododo ran foul of Section 177 of the 1999 Constitution and Section 29 and 84 of the Electoral Act as well as Article 20 of the APC’s Constitution.
The plaintiffs amongst others are praying the court to invoke Section 177 of the Constitution, Sections 29 and 84 of the Electoral Act and Article 20 of the APC’s Constitution, to declare the purported primary election invalid.
