Things are heating up in the political landscape of Plateau State! Prominent legal practitioner and Senior Advocate of Nigeria (SAN), Gyang Yaya Zi, has officially pulled out of the APC primary election for the Plateau North Senatorial District—and he is not going down quietly.
In a fiery, official legal notice served to the National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Barrister Gyang Zi is demanding a staggering ₦10 Billion in damages for defamation of character and the destabilization of his support base.
📌 What Sparked the Drama?
According to the official documents:
The "Disqualification" Shock: On the morning of May 18, 2026—the very day the primary election was set to commence—a publication widely circulated on social media (specifically via the official Twitter handle of the APC) listed Gyang Zi as number 32 among aspirants "not cleared" (disqualified) to contest, without providing any reason.
The Backlash: Barrister Zi states that the publication completely blindsided him, vilified his hard-earned reputation, and instantly demoralized his supporters, ruining his chances at a free and fair contest.
💰 The 7-Day Ultimatum Breakdown
Pursuant to the party's internal dispute resolution mechanisms, the Senior Advocate has given the APC exactly seven (7) days to meet the following financial and public demands, or face a massive lawsuit in court:
₦20,000,000.00 (20 Million Naira): Immediate refund for his Expression of Interest and Nomination forms.
₦2,000,000.00 (2 Million Naira): Refund of the Plateau State APC processing fee.
₦60,000,000.00 (60 Million Naira): Compensation for campaign materials, travels, and public engagements.
₦10,000,000,000.00 (10 Billion Naira): Damages for defamation and tarnish of his professional integrity.
A formal written retraction and apology.
With the clock ticking, all eyes are now on the APC national and state leadership. Will the party settle this internally, or are we about to witness one of the biggest political legal battles of the year?
