The defendants named in the suit are the Allied Peoples Movement; its National Chairman, Yusuf Mamman Dantalle; its National Secretary, Oyadeyi Ayodele Adebayo; the Chairman of the Planning Committee for the National Convention; and the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC). In an affidavit of extreme urgency filed in support of the application, Olayiwola stated that he was elected Southwest Zonal Chairman at the party’s congress held on May 23, 2026. According to him, the party’s guidelines require elected officers to obtain nomination forms to enable their positions to be ratified at the National Convention. The court document stated: “Without the nomination form, my position as democratically elected Zonal Chairman of Southwest will not be ratified.” The suit therefore sets the stage for a potentially significant legal battle over the validity of the Southwest zonal leadership and the processes leading to the party’s forthcoming national convention.
