Ganduje Wins As Court Strikes Out Suit Seeking His Removal
The move by some aggrieved APC Members under the aegis of the Northern Central APC Group to sack Abdullahi Ganduje as the National Chairman of the Party has hit the rock at the Federal High Court in Abuja.
This follows the decision of Justice Inyang Ekwo to dismiss the suit the group had filed.
Didactic Information Hut reports that the Northern Central APC Group had dragged Ganduje, APC and the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) before the court praying for the nullification of appointment of Ganduje by APC on the ground of gross violations of the party’s Constitution.
The group claimed 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.
However, Justice Ekwo held that the APC North Central Group is not a juristic person and not registered in law, saying the group has no legal power and capacity to file the suit.
Ekwo added that the plaintiff failed to explore the internal mechanism for peaceful resolution of issues before rushing to the court.
He insisted 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.
It’s unclear whether the Northern Central APC Group will appeal the judgment or not.
