The youth wing of the party announced on Saturday that it has taken its opposition to the planned poll further by taking the electoral body and the state government to court.

In a communique signed by Khalil Sajo, the coalition of APC youth groups stated that they have dragged the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP)-led state government to court “for hijacking the local government election process.”
