Chukwuka Challenges Aliyu's ADP Nomination in Court
Dr. Johnson Chukwuka, an aspirant from the African Democratic Party (ADP), has initiated legal proceedings at the Federal High Court in Abuja, contesting the nomination of Abbas-Bin Aliyu as the party's presidential candidate for the 2027 general elections. In Suit No.
FHC/ABJ/CS/1853/2026, Chukwuka argues that the ADP did not conduct a valid primary election on 29/30 May 2026, and he seeks a court declaration that the announcement of Aliyu as the winner and his subsequent submission to the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) on 1 August 2026 is unlawful. Chukwuka is requesting the court to void the results of the primary, declare him the rightful candidate, and order INEC to remove Aliyu's name from its notice board.
He asserts that the process violated several sections of the Electoral Act 2026 and the ADP's own guidelines. Additionally, the ADP has raised concerns about potential forgery related to the nomination form submitted to INEC, alleging unauthorized actions by a former staff member.
