The Peoples Democratic Party has told a Federal High Court in Abuja to declare the All Progressives Congress’ national convention holding on Saturday, unconstitutional and illegal.
The PDP, in a suit marked, FHC/ABJ/CS/389 2022, also sought a court order deregistering the APC as a political party, having failed to meet the requirements of Sections 222(a), 223(b), and 225 of the 1999 Constitution.
The party, in the suit dated March 25 and filed by its counsel, Samuel Irabor, listed the Independent National Electoral Commission, the APC, Registered Trustees of APC, and the Caretaker/Extraordinary Convention Planning Committee.
Others were the Chairman of the APC Caretaker/Extraordinary Convention Planning Committee as defendants, 1st to 5th defendants respectively.
In the application, the PDP equally asked the court for an order of perpetual injunction restraining INEC from recognising, communicating with, dealing with or having any business whatsoever with the APC as a registered political party.
The party averred that by a certified true copy of INEC’s list of APC’s current executives, the party was being run by a 13-member executive.
