 Governor Alex Otti Highlights How Kidnappers, Bandits Were Dislodged from Abia Communities in Abia Third Anniversary Speech Governor Alex Otti of Abia State has disclosed that his administration inherited a security crisis in which kidnappers, armed robbers, and other criminal gangs held several communities hostage before being dislodged through sustained operations.

Several communities were held hostage as kidnappers, armed robbers, and other criminal groups set up camps in the forests from where they launched sporadic attacks on innocent Abians,” Otti said.

 Hon. Abraham Katung Drags APC, INEC, Rep. Amos Magaji To Court Over Jaba/Zangon Kataf Reps Primary


An aspirant for the House of Representatives seat under the platform of the All Progressives Congress (APC) for Jaba/Zangon Kataf Federal Constituency, Hon. Abraham Katung, has approached the court to challenge the outcome and conduct of the party’s primary election ahead of the 2027 general elections.


Hon. Katung, in a suit filed before a Federal High Court, named the All Progressives Congress (APC), the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), and the incumbent lawmaker representing the constituency, Hon. Amos Gwamna Magaji, as defendants in the matter.


The legal action followed the emergence of Hon. Amos Magaji as the APC candidate for the Jaba/Zangon Kataf Federal Constituency seat in Kaduna State.


According to sources within the party, efforts were made before the primary election to reach a consensus arrangement among the aspirants. However, Hon. Abraham Katung reportedly declined to sign the consensus agreement, insisting that the party should conduct a direct primary election in line with the provisions of Section 84(2) of the Electoral Act 2026 (as amended).


Katung argued that despite his objections, the APC allegedly proceeded with what he described as an indirect primary election process rather than the direct primary stipulated by law.


In the suit before the court, the plaintiff contended that the process adopted by the party was illegal, unconstitutional, and inconsistent with the Electoral Act. He alleged that APC party executives were used in the selection process instead of allowing all duly registered party members to participate through a direct primary election.


According to court documents made available to journalists, Hon. Katung is asking the court to declare the primary election null and void on the grounds that the process allegedly violated the Electoral Act, the APC constitution, and the party’s electoral guidelines.


He is also seeking an order recognizing him as the rightful candidate or compelling the APC to conduct a fresh and transparent direct primary election in accordance with the Electoral Act and democratic principles.


The plaintiff further prayed the court to restrain INEC from recognizing or accepting the name of Hon. Amos Gwamna Magaji as the duly nominated APC candidate for the constituency pending the determination of the suit.


Speaking through members of his legal team, Hon. Katung maintained that the legal action was not intended to create division within the party but to defend internal democracy, fairness, and the rights of party members.


“This action is about justice, internal democracy, and ensuring that the provisions of the Electoral Act are respected by all political parties,” a source close to the legal team stated.


Meanwhile, efforts to obtain official reactions from the APC leadership in Kaduna State and Hon. Amos Magaji were still ongoing at the time of filing this report.


Political observers in Southern Kaduna say the development may intensify political discussions within the constituency, especially amid earlier calls by stakeholders and youth groups for fairness and adherence to zoning and rotational arrangements in the area.


The court is expected to fix a date for hearing in the coming days.
