APC crisis: Kwara court recognises Balogun-Fulani-led faction

The judgement read by Justice T.S. Umar, on Wednesday held that the purported dissolution of the executive committee of the APC led by Balogun-Fulani was illegal, null and void.

The court also held that, as at today, it recognised the executive committee led by Balogun-Fulani as the authentic executive committee of the Kwara State APC chapter.

The court judgment further held that the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, should recognise the list of members of the executive committee presented by the Kwara APC executive committee led by the Balogun-Fulani faction.

Speaking with journalists after the court sitting, the lawyer to Isola Balogun-Fulani faction of the APC, Abdulazeez Ibrahim, pointed out that no cost was awarded for the judgement secured since they did not ask for cost.

According to Ibrahim, the effect of the judgement got was that the court recognized candidates of the Balogun-Fulani faction of the APC, “since it’s the authentic executive committee of the state.”
