Ayo Arise Sues APC Over Ekiti North Senatorial Primary Results

Former Senator Ayo Arise has filed a lawsuit challenging the outcome of the APC primary for the Ekiti North senatorial ticket. He insists he lawfully won the exercise but was omitted from the final list of candidates. Arise says he acted swiftly to meet the legal timelines in Nigeria’s Electoral Act and avoid losing his opportunity for judicial intervention. He argues that waiting for further party announcements would have nullified any court action. He accuses the APC of flouting its own guidelines and misleading aspirants into relying solely on declarations from national officers. The court is now tasked with determining whether the party followed its rules. Arise expresses confidence in the judiciary and believes justice will restore his nomination once the process is upheld.
