A Federal High Court in Abuja has scheduled September 23, 2024, to deliver its judgment on a suit challenging Dr. Abdullahi Ganduje’s position as the National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC).
Originally set for judgment on September 18, the ruling was postponed as the court was not ready. The new date was communicated to the parties involved.
The North Central APC Forum, led by Saleh Zazzaga, filed the suit, arguing that Ganduje’s appointment violates the party’s constitution as he is from Kano State in the North West, not the North Central zone. They claim that this appointment breaches Article 31.5(1) f of the APC constitution.
The plaintiffs seek an order barring Ganduje from continuing as APC chairman and preventing the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) from recognizing any actions taken by the APC since his appointment in August 2023.
