A former Minister of Sports and Special Duties and contestant in the recently-concluded national convention of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Prof. Taoheed Adedoja, on Monday, filed a suit  before the Federal High Court, in Abuja, seeking the cancellation of the December 9 convention.

Adedoja told journalists, in Abuja, that  his name was excluded from the ballot paper used in the election of the national chairman.

According to him, what was on the ballot paper was Prof. Taoheed Oladoja. “That was not my name. Delegates could not have voted for a name that is nonexistent. If my name is not there, it means that there was no election,” he said.

Adedoja said his exclusion from the ballot paper was responsible for the zero vote, he scored at the convention.
