No fewer than 125 aspirants who participated in the March 26 National Convention of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) have vowed to take the leadership of the party to court over its failure to refund the payment for their Expression of Interest and Nomination Forms.
The development is coming four months after they were asked to step down for the current National Chairman of the party, Senator Abdullahi Adamu, and other members of the National Working Committee.
Some affected politicians who spoke in separate interviews expressed concerns that they have explored and exhausted all their options with the only obstacle being the national chairman, the PUNCH reports.
