Kogi guber: Court makes decision in suit stopping APC primaries
Ruling in the application filed by Alhaji Mustapha Audu, a Governorship aspirant, Justice Awulu, held that the court cannot stop the primaries by order.
The aspirant who is also the son of the former governor of the state, late Abubakar Audu, also sought an interim order to restrain the defendants from organising any activity connected with the conduct of the primary election and any other order that the court may deem necessary to make in the circumstance.
He, therefore, urged the court to direct that he be included as one of the aspirants, contesting the primary election and an order of perpetual injunction restraining the defendants from conducting the primary without including his name. 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.
