From Tony John, Port Harcourt
Former member of the House of Representatives and governorship aspirant in Rivers State, Farah Dagogo, has denied reports that he sued the African Democratic Congress (ADC) over the party’s Rivers State governorship primary.
Reports circulating on social media claimed he approached a court to challenge the primary and that the suit was dismissed. In a statement signed by him on Monday, Dagogo called the reports false, misleading and unauthorised.
He said he did not brief any lawyer, depose to any affidavit or authorise any originating process against the party. He challenged those circulating the claim to produce the suit number, court, filing date, counsel and certified true copies of any court documents.
Dagogo said the use of his name raised questions of possible impersonation and forgery. He has instructed his lawyers to investigate the origin of the publication and take appropriate civil and, where applicable, criminal action against those responsible.
He urged the public and supporters to disregard the report and not circulate unverified claims. He said he remained a law abiding citizen committed to due process and would not be distracted by false narratives.
