The court insisted that it will not hear Ribadu’s application unless the respondent was properly served.

Sen. Aishatu on May 26, 2022, defeated Ribadu and four others in the APC governorship primaries by scoring 430 votes.

Although attempts were made at party level to reconcile the two leaders, Ribadu, who was a former chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), insisted on seeking legal redress.

He sued APC (1st defendant), Sen. Aishatu (2nd defendant) and the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) as the 3rd defendant over the outcome of the primaries.
