Some aggrieved members of the All Progressives Congress have filed a suit against Governor Mai Mala Buni led Caretaker and Extraordinary Convention Planning Committee of the party over plans to hold a national convention in February.
The aggrieved members are Suleiman Usman, Muhammed Shehu, Samaila Isahaka, Idris Isah, and Audu Emmanuel
By the suit instituted at the Federal High Court Abuja, dated January 4, 2022, the plaintiffs want an order of the court restraining the Buni-led CECPC from going ahead with the convention.
Joined as defendants in the suit are the APC, Chairman of APC Caretaker/Extraordinary Convention Planning Committee, and the Independent National Electoral Commission.
The case marked FHC/ABJ/CS/3/2022, was filed on behalf of the plaintiffs through their lawyer, Olusola Ojo.
Specifically, the applicants are praying the court for an order stopping the convention on the ground that party congresses are yet to be completed in all the 36 States of the federation.
