A Federal High Court, Abuja, on Friday, dismissed a Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) suit seeking the disqualification of Rev. Father Hyacint Alia as All Progressives Congress (APC) governorship candidate in Benue.
Justice Inyang Ekwo, in a judgment, held that the PDP’s suit was incompetent on the ground of lack of locus standi (legal right) to institute the case.
The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that two plaintiffs; the PDP and Rt. Hon. Titus Uba had sued the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), and APC as 1st and 2nd defendants.
