Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has filed a suit before a Federal High court in Abuja seeking the sack of all national working committee (NWC) members of the All Progressives Congress (APC).
Gatekeepers News reports that PDP, in a suit marked FHC/ABJ/CS/1864/2022, and filed through Ayo Ajibade, a Senior Advocate of Nigeria (SAN), is contesting the legality of the process that produced the party’s national officers in March.
Consequently, the PDP is praying the court to void the APC NWC as well as all candidates produced by party for the 2023 general election on the claim that they were produced in breach of the 1999 constitution, the party’s constitution, and Electoral Act 2022.
The case file has been assigned to Inyang Ekwo, a Federal High Court Judge.
Ekwo has fixed November 22 for mention of the suit with an order that all the 53 persons listed by PDP as defendants be served with hearing notices in their respective locations.
Bola Tinubu, APC presidential candidate; Kashim Shettima, the party’s vice-presidential candidate, as well as governorship candidates and their running mates are listed as defendants in the suit.
