A Federal High Court in Abuja has fixed 18 September for judgment in a suit seeking the removal of Abdullahi Ganduje as the All Progressives Congress (APC) national chairman.
On Friday, Justice Inyang Ekwo fixed the date after counsel to the plaintiff, Benjamin Davou; and lawyers to the defense adopted their processes and made their submission for and against the case.
The plaintiff; the North Central APC Forum, led by Saleh Zazzaga, had filed the suit to query the propriety of Ganduje’s appointment as the APC chairman when he is not from the North Central geo-political zone.
The plaintiff wanted the court to restrain Ganduje from parading himself as the chairman of the APC.
It also prayed the court to issue an order directing INEC not to accord recognition to all actions taken by the APC, including congresses, primaries, and nominations, since Ganduje became the APC chairman on 3 August 2023.
