The Allied People’s Movement (APM) crisis intensified on Thursday as aggrieved members filed two lawsuits at the Federal High Court in Ibadan. The first lawsuit was lodged by 33 candidates who won the Local Government Election primary, who are now seeking a court order to prevent the Oyo State Independent Electoral Commission (OYSIEC) from monitoring any further primaries for the local government election in Oyo State.
The second lawsuit, filed by Musibau Olayiwola, a Zonal Vice Chairman, seeks the annulment of the recent APM national convention in Bauchi, demanding a fresh convention to allow him to participate. Both cases were postponed for a hearing to take place on Monday, September 21, 2026. Olayiwola's lawsuit, filed under the case number FHC/IB/CS/101/26, challenges the APM's decision to deny him nomination forms for the upcoming national convention, arguing that it violates his constitutional rights.
