Adebayo Shittu, has sued the All Progressive Congress for disqualifying him as one of the Oyo state governorship aspirant over NYSC discharge certificate.
APC had denied him clearance to participate in the party primary election in Oyo state over non-possession of the National Youth Service Corps, NYSC.
The minister said it was wrong for the party to drop his name for the primary election on account of not presenting his certificate.
Shittu also faulted the scheme for not mobilising him for the one-year programme.
“I know as a fact that I was also not served any Notice or notified in any manner to proceed to participate in the National Youth Service Corps Scheme”.
In an affidavit which he swore to, Shittu stressed that the electoral act did not make participation in the National Youth Service Corps Scheme a condition precedent for contesting any elective office whatsoever.
In a legal warrant presented by his Counsel, Mr. A.U. Mustapha( SAN), the minister pointed some key issues the court need to determine.
