Audu’s son fails in bid to stop Kogi APC primaries
Justice Abdul Awulu, a vacation judge sitting in a High Court in Lokoja, on Thursday dismissed an exparte application to stop the governorship primaries of the All Progressives Congress in Kogi.
He sought among others, an interim order restraining the defendants from conducting the party’s governorship primary election scheduled to hold on Aug. 29, pending the determination of the motion on notice before the court. In the originating summons of the suit No HCL/34/2019 and dated August 28, the applicant argued that the exclusion of his name from the governorship aspirants’ list of the APC was a breach of his right and that the conduct of the screening exercise by the party was in breach of the party’s constitution.
His counsel, D.D. Dugbanya, said he would rely on the affidavits and adopted the written address filed along with the motion. “I have refrained from raising the issue of jurisdiction suo moto at this stage to prevent an entry into the arena. Let me save that until the motion on notice.
