A High Court sitting in Abuja has set aside the Interlocutory Injunction against the All Progressives Congress (APC) Convention.
It could be recalled that a Federal Capital Territory (FCT), High Court had earlier restrained the party from proceeding with its planned national convention scheduled for March 26.
This followed an order by Justice Bello Kawu, who restrained the party from going ahead with its national convention pending the determination of the suit marked FHC/HC/CV/2958/202.
Salisu Umoru had dragged the APC, the Chairman Caretaker Extraordinary Convention Planning Committee and Governor of Yobe state, Mai Mala Buni, and the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC before the court to challenge the planned convention.
In the motion, No FCT/HC/M/9655/21, the plaintiff prayed the court for an order of interlocutory injunction restraining the 1st and 2nd defendants, allies, agencies, representatives, associates or whoever is acting for them from organising, holding or conducting national convention of the APC in January and February or at any other date either before or after, pending the hearing and determination of the suit.
The claimant informed the court that the mere inauguration of sub-committees for the March 26 National Convention when the order of the honourable court is in force is a demonstration of disdain for the rule of law in the country.
This is a developing story.
