A Federal High Court in Abuja on Thursday, fixed June 13 to hear a suit seeking to restrain Dr Abdullahi Ganduje from parading himself as the National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress, APC. Justice Inyang Ekwo fixed the date to allow parties in the suit to regularize their processes.
The North Central APC Forum, in the suit marked: FHC/ABJ/CS/599/24, had sued Ganduje , APC and Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, as 1st to 3rd defendants respectively. The forum, led by Saleh Zazzaga, equally sought an order directing the INEC not to accord recognition to all actions taken by the APC, including congresses, primaries and nominations, since Ganduje became APC chairman on August 3, 2023.
Therefore, the group said APC ought to have appointed a member from Nasarawa State in the North Central Geo-Political Zone into the office of the chairman of the party. The forum asked the court to, among others, declare that by Article 20 of the APC Constitution, 2013, Ganduje cannot be appointed as the national chairman other than through a democratically conducted election and that his current occupation of the office is illegal.
