Court Strikes out PDP's Suit against Ogun EXCO
Justice Ahmed Mohammed of the Abuja Division of the Federal High Court has struck out a suit by the national headquarters of the Peoples Democratic Party challenging the powers of its Ogun State chapter to conduct party congresses in the state.Delivering judgment on Tuesday in the national PDP’s suit marked: FHC/ABJ/CS/208/2020, the judge held that the suit amounted to an invitation to his court to sit on appeal over a question already determined by another judge of the same Federal High Court.
In the latest suit, the national PDP prayed the court to, among others, hold that by virtue of the party’s amended constitution of 2017, the 2020 PDP Guidelines for the conduct of congresses, the 1999 Constitution and the Electoral Act, it is the exclusive function of the National Working Committee of the PDP to appoint congress committee members for the purpose of conducting elections into the party’s executive offices from the ward level to the national level.
The judge further held that the main question determined in the 2016 case has rendered this case incompetent.
