An aggrieved aspirant of the All Progressives Congress, APC, has accused the ruling party of seeking to sideline him after he allegedly expended over N100 million pursuing his political ambition under the party’s platform.

The aspirant, Ambassador Fubara Dagogo, dragged the APC and some of its top officials to a Federal High Court in Abuja, accusing them of denying him the opportunity to contest for the position of National Vice Chairman (South-South) before the party’s national convention.

Dagogo claimed he duly paid for the party’s expression of interest and nomination forms but was denied access to the forms despite meeting all requirements, according to court documents filed before Justice Joyce Abdulmalik.

“You cannot jettison me after I spent over N100 million chasing this ambition,” the aggrieved aspirant reportedly argued in his suit, accusing party officials of frustrating his participation in the exercise.

The APC, its National Chairman, Prof. Nentawe Yilwatda, National Vice Chairman (South-South), Victor Giadom and National Organising Secretary, Sulaiman Argungu were listed as defendants in the suit.

The plaintiff is praying the court to nullify the outcome of any South-South zonal congress where he was not included. He is also seeking N100 million damages for what he described as embarrassment, emotional distress and mental torture allegedly suffered him by the party’s actions.

Dagogo said in his affidavit that he had paid the required fees on the 13th of March 2026 and went to the APC national secretariat to collect the nomination forms but was informed that the forms were no longer available.

Some party officials deliberately kept him from obtaining the forms, he said, because they feared he might beat the officeholder in the contest.

However, the APC in its legal representatives, urged the court to dismiss the suit on the ground that the matter is an internal affair of the party and therefore not justiciable.

Nasir El-Rufai, the former governor of Kaduna State, has been granted bail for 100 million naira with one surety in the same amount by Justice Joyce Abdulmalik of the Federal High Court in Abuja.

According to reports, the potential surety must dwell in either the Maitama or Asokoro areas of Abuja and present the original Certificate of Occupancy of a landed property at the court registry, according to Justice Abdulmalik’s judgment on Monday.

The court further ruled that the surety must be a federal civil servant with a minimum Grade Level of 17 and must present proof of salary payments for a minimum of three months.

A letter from the surety’s bank manager within the court’s jurisdiction will verify these documents.

In addition, the court mandated that the surety sign an affidavit of means, sign a bail bond, and provide the court registry with a recent passport photo.

El-Rufai must deposit all valid foreign passports with the court as part of the bail requirements. He must also produce a tax clearance certificate covering the previous six months and a verification letter from the surety’s immediate department.

In addition, until the case is decided, Justice Abdulmalik mandated that the defendant appear at the Department of State Services headquarters by 10 a.m. on the final Friday of every month to sign the attendance register.

The judge issued a warning that bail would be automatically revoked for noncompliance.

The defendant was also ordered by the court to provide a letter of attestation from the Kaduna Traditional Council Chairman.
