A Federal High Court in Abuja has affirmed the decision of the All Progressives Congress to conduct indirect primary for the forthcoming governorship election in Kogi State.

Justice TAIWO TAIWO approved the party’s choice and dismissed two suits filed by some APC members in Kogi, challenging the party’s choice of mode of primary to be adopted for selecting a candidate for the November 16 poll.

The plaintiffs were of the view that the choice of the mode to be adopted for primary election cannot be determined while the leadership in the state chapter of the party was under question, with the pendency of the suit.

In his ruling, Justice TAIWO dismissed the first suit for being statute barred on the grounds that it was not heard within the 180 days stipulated under Section 285 subsection 10 of the Constitution.
