A member of the Benue State House of Assembly, Mathew Damkor, has asked the Court of Appeal to overturn a Federal High Court judgment that dismissed his suit over the All Progressives Congress (APC) primary for the Tiev constituency.
He wants the appellate court to declare him winner of the party’s 20 May 2026 primary and direct the APC to forward his name to the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) as its candidate for the 2027 general election.
In a notice of appeal containing five grounds, filed by his lawyer, Innocent Daagba, Damkor also asked the court to order INEC to accept his name and enter it on its portal as the APC candidate for the Tiev seat.
