A chieftain of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Mr Kalu Agu, on Friday, asked a High Court of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) for an order of
perpetual injunction restraining the APC from going ahead with its planned Ward congress scheduled for Saturday July 31, as well as subsequent Local Government, State, Zonal Congresses and the party’s National Convention.
The plaintiff by the suit is claiming that the second defendant was never elected at any congress to run the affairs of the APC and that the party’s Constitution does not allow any person who holds an executive position to occupy any position in any of its organs. While claiming that APC does not have an elected ward congress and that Buni is not also elected, the deponent added that “some persons not known to the ware are determined to come together and appoint themselves as ward executive committee thereby excluding him from the process of contesting for the said position.”
He argued that if the answers to the questions are in the negative, whether the defendants can be restrained by the court from proceeding with the process of electing any officer of the APC or whether the court can set aside any decision, action, steps or notification taken by the APC for the actualization of the ward, Local Government, State and Zonal Congresses and National Convention for the election of officers of the APC.
