Justice Inyang Edem Ekwo of the Federal High Court, Abuja, has dismissed a suit seeking the removal of Dr Abdullahi Ganduje as the National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress, APC. The suit instituted against Ganduje by the APC North Central Group was thrown out on Monday by the Judge on various grounds.
Among others, Justice Ekwo held that the APC North Central Group is not a juristic person having not been registered in law and therefore has no legal power and capacity to file the suit. The Judge also held that the plaintiff failed to explore the internal mechanism for peaceful resolution of issues before rushing to court. Besides, Justice Ekwo held that the appointment of officers for APC by its National Executive Committee is an internal affair of the party which no court can dabble into.
In the suit marked: FHC/ABJ/CS/599/2024, the plaintiff listed Ganduje, the APC and the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC as the 1st to the 3rd defendants respectively. The plaintiff in the suit marked: FHC/ABJ/CS/599/2024, asked the court to, among others, restrain Ganduje from further parading himself as the chairman of the APC.
