Accept court ruling, shun anti-party activities - APC chieftain tells Senator Karimi

Mohammed Ibrahim, a prominent chieftain of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Lokoja, has called upon Senator Sunday Karimi to accept the recent Federal High Court ruling that disqualified him as the party's Kogi West senatorial candidate. The court's decision validated Sunday Bamidele Aro as the legitimate winner of the APC Kogi West senatorial primary held in May, effectively ending the legal dispute that arose from Karimi's attempt to transfer the case from the Federal High Court in Lokoja to the Abuja Division.

In a statement released on Friday, Ibrahim announced that he is withdrawing his support for Karimi, emphasizing that the party's interests take precedence over individual desires. He stated, "I am one of his supporters, but it's evident that the party's interest supersedes that of any individual." The APC chieftain also dismissed rumors suggesting that the party might lose Kogi West without Karimi's backing, asserting that the candidate endorsed by the court, Aro, will secure the district's support.

Despite the court's ruling, Ibrahim urged Karimi and his supporters to set aside their disagreements and unite behind the party's official candidate, Aro, to ensure the party's success in Kogi West.
