FCT, Abuja – A Federal High Court in Abuja has fixed June 13 as the day to hear a suit seeking to sack Dr Abdullahi Ganduje as the National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC).
Justice Inyang Ekwo announced the date on Thursday, May 30.
He explained that the date was fixed to allow parties in the suit to regularise their processes, Vanguard reports.
The North Central APC Forum had filed a suit marked: FHC/ABJ/CS/599/24, against Ganduje, APC and Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) as 1st to 3rd defendants respectively.
Leader of the forum, Saleh Zazzaga, asked the court to order 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.
The forum argued that Ganduje is illegally occupying the APC chairman’s office as he is not from a state in the North Central Geo-political Zone.
