A law suit seeking the removal of the All Progressives Congress (APC) National Chairman, Abdullahi Umar Ganduje, has been struck out by a Federal High Court sitting in the Federal Capital Territory (FCT).
The suit was instituted by APC North Central Forum led by Saleh Zazzaga. The presiding judge, Justice Inyang Ekwo ruled that it cannot grant the pleas of the group.
According to Justice Ekwo, the “APC North Central Forum is not a juristic person and not registered in law and therefore has no legal power and capacity to file the suit.”
Also, Ekwo faulted the suit on the ground that the group failed to exhaust internal mechanisms for peaceful resolution of the issue before approaching the court.
According to Channels TV, “Justice Ekwo further held that the appointment of officers for APC by its National Executive Committee is an internal affair of the party which no court can dabble into.
The group contended that the appointment of Ganduje breached Article 13 of the APC Constitution because it was not done through a democratic process enshrined in the party’s law.
The APC’s North Central chieftains had threatened to work against the second-term ambition of President Bola Tinubu if the national chairmanship position of the party is not returned to the region.
The chieftains had argued since the immediate national chairman, Abdullahi Adamu‘s tenure was not completed, the region should retain the party’s highest position.
