Idahosa sues INEC over Edo APC primary
The crisis that erupted after the governorship primary election of the All Progressives Congress in Edo State may not be over as one of the aspirants, Dennis Idahosa, has written to the Chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission, Mahmood Yakubu, not to receive any other name as the candidate of the party apart from him, claiming that he won the primary election.
The crisis started when the first primary, conducted on February 17, threw up three winners, including Idahosa.
A rerun primary later conducted on February 22 produced Monday Okpebholo as the winner with 12,433 ahead of Idahosa, who polled 6,541 votes.
But Idahosa, who had rejected the outcome of the poll, wrote the INEC Chairman, through his lawyer, Chief Wole Olanipekun (SAN), demanding to be recognised as the Edo APC governorship candidate.
