Senator Jimoh Ibrahim has dragged the All Progressives Congress, APC, Ondo State Governor, Lucky Orimisan Aiyedatiwa and the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, before a Federal High Court in Abuja over the disputed primary election that produced Aiyedatiwa as APC candidate for November election.
Ibrahim who is representing Ondo South in the Senate, is praying the court cancel the nomination of Aiyedatiwa as APC candidate on the ground that the April 20 primary election that produced him was unlawful. In the suit instituted on his behalf by a Senior Advocate of Nigeria, SAN, Chris Uche, Ibrahim , a governorship aspirant who participated in the primary election alleged that the poll was marred with a lot of irregularities.
The Senator also sought an order of perpetual injunction prohibiting Governor Aiyedatiwa from holding himself out or parading himself as the APC governorship candidate. Similarly, Ibrahim wants the court to set aside the purported primary election and compel the APC to conduct a fresh one in compliance with sections 221, and 228 of the 1999 Constitution and that of 84 of the Electoral Act 2022.
