"The committee will also look into his purported decision to go to court with the PDP governorship candidate, Idris Wada, to challenge INEC’s directive for APC to substitute Audu,’’ the statement said.
The statement said that after reviewing the political quagmire in Kogi, the NWC resolved not to challenge INEC's decision in court in the interest of the nation.
It added that party disowned any legal action taken by Koleola.
"As a mass movement, DPC shall at all times promote democratic Ideals and ethos that will deepen and strengthen our political process,’’ it added.
