APM Crisis: Members File Lawsuits at Federal High Court
The crisis within the Allied People’s Movement (APM) escalated as aggrieved members filed two lawsuits at the Federal High Court in Ibadan, Oyo State. The first suit, initiated by 33 candidates from the party's primary for the upcoming Local Government Election in December, seeks to prevent the Oyo State Independent Electoral Commission (OYSIEC) from overseeing any further primaries, asserting their election was legitimate.
The second suit, brought by Musibau Olayiwola, the elected Zonal Vice Chairman, aims to nullify the recent national convention held in Bauchi and demands a new convention to allow his participation. Olayiwola's suit, marked FHC/IB/CS/101/26, includes the APM, its National Chairman Yusuff Mamman Dantalle, National Secretary Oyadeyi Ayodele Adebayo, and the INEC as defendants.
The court, presided over by Justice Uche Agomoh, has adjourned the hearing of both suits until September 21, 2026.
