FEDERAL HIGH COURT FIXES SEPTEMBER 18 FOR JUDGMENT IN A SUIT SEEKING THE REMOVAL OF ABDULLAHI GANDUJE AS NATIONAL CHAIRMAN OF APC.

A Federal High Court in Abuja, has fixed September 18 for judgment in a
suit seeking the removal of Abdullahi Ganduje as National Chairman of the
All Progressives Congress (APC).

Justice Inyang Ekwo fixed the date after counsel to the plaintiff, Benjamin
Davou; and lawyers to the defence adopted their processes and made their
submission for and against the case.

The plaintiff; the North Central APC Forum, led by Saleh Zazzaga, had filed
the suit to query the propriety of Ganduje’s appointment as Chairman of the
APC when he is not from the North Central geo-political zone.

In the suit, the plaintiff listed Ganduje, the APC and the Independent
National Electoral Commission (INEC) as 1st to 3rd defendants respectively.
The plaintiff wants the court to, among others, restrain Ganduje from further
parading himself as the chairman of the APC.

It also prays the court to issue an order directing 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.
