The Federal High Court in Abuja, on Wednesday, deferred hearing a suit aimed at removing All Progressives Congress (APC) Chairman Abdullahi Ganduje from office until July 5.
The court, presided over by Justice Inyang Ekwo, granted an adjournment to allow the plaintiffs to respond to a counter-affidavit filed by Ganduje challenging the suit’s competence.
The suit, brought by aggrieved APC members under the North Central APC Forum, questions the legitimacy of Ganduje’s appointment as chairman. The plaintiffs, led by Saleh Zazzaga, seek a court order restraining Ganduje from acting as chairman and directing INEC to disregard all actions taken by the APC since his appointment on August 3, 2023.
