BREAKING: Senator Saliu Mustapha faces legal battle over PDP senatorial ticket

Another legal action challenging the candidature of Senator Saliu Mustapha is expected to be filed before the Kwara State High Court in Ilorin on Monday, September 7, 2026

Sources familiar with the development told Just Event Online TV that the proposed suit is expected to be instituted by one Olanrewaju Abdulganiy Dikko, reportedly from Badari Ward in Ilorin West Local Government Area of Kwara State.

The specific grounds of the proposed action and the reliefs being sought by the prospective plaintiff were not immediately available as of the time of filing this report.

The development comes days after Confidence News Online reported the filing of a separate suit before the Federal High Court in Ilorin challenging Mustapha’s candidature.

The earlier case was reportedly instituted by a member of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) believed to be aligned with the faction led by Hon. Ladi Hassan.

If filed as anticipated, the latest action would constitute another legal challenge to Senator Mustapha’s candidature ahead of the 2027 general elections.

However, details surrounding the proposed suit remain sketchy, and the actual court filing will be required to establish the precise grounds of the case, the parties involved and the reliefs being sought.

“Kwara Assembly under Speaker Yakubu Danladi is a rubber stamp one because he received ‘marching orders’ from Governor AbdulRazaq on what legislation to pass or not.
