APC leaders drag Tinubu, Akande to court

Some leaders of the All Progressives Congress
have dragged a national leader of the party,
Bola Tinubu, its National Chairman, Chief Bisi
Akande, the Independent National Electoral
Commission and two others to court alleging
imposition of candidates in the just-concluded
congresses of the party in Lagos State.
The plaintiffs, Mr. Akinniyi Akinsiju, Michael
Ajayi and three others, filed the suit on behalf
of members of the New Lagos Movement, a
faction of the party.
In the suit filed at the Federal High Court,
Lagos on Monday, the claimants alleged that
the defendants imposed their cronies as
against candidates who contested and won
party offices in the ward, local and state
congresses held in April.
Among other things, they demanded "an order
nullifying and setting aside the results of the
Local Government Congresses of the 4th
defendant (APC) declared in Lagos State on
the 12th day of April, 2014 as same do not
represent the actual outcome of the electoral
processes and are mere concoctions of the
1st defendant (Tinubu) by which he actually
imposed his loyalists as party leaders.
"An order nullifying the results of the state
congress of the 4th defendant declared in
Lagos State on the 26th day of April, 2014 as
same do not represent products of genuine
electoral processes and are mere concoctions
of the 1st defendant by which he actually
imposed his loyalists as party leaders.
In their statement of claim filed by their
counsel, Nurudeen Ogbara, the claimants
listed several breaches allegedly committed by
the defendants in Surulere Local Government
Area of the state where Tinubu allegedly in
connivance with Femi Gbajabiamila, a
member of the House of Representatives,
declared false results and awarded offices to
their stooges.
