Dr. Johnson Chukwuka, a presidential aspirant under the Action Democratic Party (ADP), has filed a lawsuit in the Federal High Court in Abuja against the party and the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) over the selection of Abbas-Bin Aliyu as the party's presidential candidate for the 2027 election. The suit, filed under Case No. FHC/ABJ/CS/1853/2026, challenges the validity of the ADP's presidential primary held on May 29 and 30, 2026, and Aliyu's subsequent nomination as the party's flagbearer.
Chukwuka's legal team argues that the primary process violated several sections of the Electoral Act 2026 and the party's own guidelines for conducting primaries.
