BREAKING: Court nullifies Kogi APC congresses to elect guber candidate
A Federal High Court in Abuja nullified and set aside the Ward and Local Government congresses purportedly conducted on February 7 by the All Progressives Congress (APC), in Kogi to nominate its candidate for the November governorship election.
Group of aggrieved APC members led by Realwan Okpanachi approached court to nullify the two congresses conducted in the party in the state.
Justice James Omotosho while delivering judgment on Wednesday barred the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), from using the unlawful delegates list that emanated from unlawful congresses for the party to select its governorship flagbearer.
The court voided the two congresses because they were not conducted in compliance with the Electoral Act 2022 and the Constitution of the APC.
