A legal dispute has opened a new front in the Ondo State chapter of the All Progressives Congress, APC, as some aspirants loyal to Governor Lucky Aiyedatiwa have challenged the party’s decisions on the national Assembly primary elections in court.

The cases, filed against the APC, INEC and some candidates, are testing the party’s decision to adopt direct primaries for the May 16, 2026 exercise.

Sources within the party claimed that several of the aspirants now in court benefited from financial backing for their nomination forms from Governor Lucky Aiyedatiwa’s camp.
