APC Convention Rocked! Fubara Dagogo Drags Party To Court, Demands ₦100m

Dagogo is seeking a court order to stop all activities related to the convention, alleging that he was unfairly excluded from the process.

The aspirant, who serves as Director-General of the APC States Assembly Forum, claimed he met all requirements, including paying the ₦5.1 million fee for the expression of interest and nomination forms, and receiving financial clearance from the party. Despite this, he alleged that the party leadership failed to provide him with the necessary forms.

He said repeated efforts to obtain the forms in line with the party’s constitution were unsuccessful, prompting him to take legal action.

In the suit, marked FHC/ABJ/CS/591/2026, Dagogo is asking the court to interpret issues surrounding his payment receipt and the APC’s revised timetable for its congresses and national convention, as well as relevant provisions of the party’s constitution.

The defendants listed in the case include the APC, its National Chairman Nentawe Yilwatda, the South-South National Vice Chairman Victor Giadom, and National Organising Secretary Suleiman Mohammed Argungu.

Among the reliefs sought, Dagogo is requesting an injunction to stop the South-South zonal congress scheduled for March 25, 2026. He also wants the court to affirm his right to receive the nomination forms and declare any outcome of the congress invalid if conducted without his participation.

Additionally, he is demanding ₦100 million in damages, citing alleged embarrassment, distress, and mental strain caused by the situation.

As of the time of reporting, the court has yet to fix a date for the hearing of the case.
