A High Court sitting in Yola, Adamawa state, has dismissed a suit filed by some aggrieved members of the All Progressives Congress (APC), demanding the cancellation of ward, local government and state congresses of the party in Adamawa state.
The suit which was filed by Dimas Ezra, a factional Chairman of APC and three others as plaintiffs prayed for the nullification of APC congresses, conducted by the chairman of the party Alhaji Ibrahim Bilal.
Delivering judgement in the suit, Justice Abdulazeez Waziri, dismissed all the prayers submitted before the court for lack of evidence by the plaintiffs .
The presiding judge said after purchasing the congress forms in bulk from the defendant, the plaintifffs refused to return completed forms and boycotted the congress which was a violation of the party’s constitution.
Reacting to the judgement, one of the plaintiffs, Usman Ibrahim, said they may consider appealing the judgement.
Ibrahim said the outcome of their consultations would be made known to the public at the appropriate time.
Similarly, the public secretary of APC in the state, Mohammed Abdullahi, however, lauded the judgement saying that justice had taken its course in the suit.
The APC spokesman in the state urged the aggrieved members to bury their differences and forge ahead with the party executive to move the party forward in the state.
Famzn News understands that the aggrieved members who were supporters of the former governor, Murtala Nyako, those loyal to the former Secretary to the government of the Federation SGF, Mr Babachir Lawal, among others had submitted a petition to the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) in the state before proceeding to court to seek redress over the matter.
