AAC Leadership: Court Fixes December 5 To Rule On Fresh Suit By Leonard Nzenwa, Challenging Appeal Court DecisionLeonard Nzenwa had approached a Federal High Court where he filed an action to challenge the matter bordering on the leadership of the party which has been decided and put to rest by the appellate court.
An Appeal Court sitting in Abuja on June 2, 2022, affirmed Sowore as the substantive chairman of the party. He is also seeking an order of the court directing the Independent National Electoral Commission , who is the 2nd defendant in the suit, to accept and recognise his “candidates” for the 2023 general elections.
He argued that the court lacks jurisdiction to entertain the suit, adding that it is not a pre-election matter as has been wrongly portrayed by the plaintiff.
