Senator Sunday Karimi Challenges Court Ruling on APC Candidacy
Senator Sunday Karimi, representing Kogi West Senatorial District, has rejected a ruling by the Federal High Court in Abuja that annulled his candidacy for the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the Kogi West primary election. The ruling, delivered by Justice Salim Ibrahim, invalidated Karimi's party ticket and upheld the claims of the plaintiff, Samuel Bamidele, who challenged Karimi's emergence as the APC candidate in the primary held on May 18, 2026.
Despite the judgment, Karimi stated he remains undeterred and plans to appeal the decision, expressing confidence in the Nigerian judicial system. He criticized the ruling as contrary to evidence and alleged it was influenced by individuals seeking to maintain control over Kogi State's resources.
Bamidele, on the other hand, praised the judiciary for its commitment to the rule of law and democratic processes.
