A Federal High Court in Abuja has been urged to among others, compel the national body of the All Progressives Congress , to dissolve the State Executive Committee of its Ekiti chapter for having been allegedly constituted in violation of Article 20 of the party’s constitution.
It is the plaintiffs’ contention that the manner the Omotosho-led SEC was constituted, during a stakeholders meeting on September 15, 2018 at the Iyin Ekiti home of Otunba Niyi Adebayo, did not meet the provisions of the constitution of the APC, particularly Article 20 and Section 85, and of the Electoral Act 2010 as amended.
“After the said names were read out at the said meeting, Senator Dayo Adeyeye moved a motion, which was seconded by Senator Ayo Arise, to the effect that the said persons be adopted as constituting the members of the SEC. The plaintiffs want the court to declare, among others, that Omotosho and members of Ekiti APC SEC are unlawfully occupying the offices they currently occupy, and to restrain them from further parading themselves in that capacity.
They argued that the subject matter of the case relates to the internal affairs of a party on which the Federal High Court has no jurisdiction, under Section 251 of the Constitution. On the issue of locus standi, the plaintiffs argued that they have disclosed sufficient interest, which they seek to protect, having shown that they are “stakeholders in the APC project in both Ekiti State and the national level.”
