The party in a statement signed by its acting National Publicity Secretary, Mr Yekini Nabena, stated that there is no judgment by any court nullifying its primary election.
“Our attention has been drawn to some misleading media reports suggesting that the Direct primaries which produced Alhaji Isiaka Gboyega Oyetola as the All Progressives Congress (APC) candidate for the forthcoming Osun State Governorship election have been nullified by an Abuja Federal High Court in a matter filed by one Kunle Rasheed Adegoke.
“This case is before Justice Dimgba and our confirmation from the Court’s Registry show that the matter was filed on July 27, 2018. It is being handled for the Plaintiff by A.U Mustapha (SAN) and came up for the first time on September 13, 2018, when service of originating processes on all other Parties was confirmed.
