Two members of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has urged a High Court of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Abuja to restrain from compelling the party’s chairman, Adamu Mua’zu, and other members of its National Working Committee (NWC) to resign their position until the expiration of their tenure of office.
The request is contained in a suit instituted by Tasiu Iliyasu Hussaini and Waziri Amadu, members of the party.
In the suit filed yesterday, they want the court to determine whether the PDP’s NWC could be dissolved or its members forced to resign their positions without following required procedure laid down by the party’s constitution.
The plaintiffs want the court to declare that the party’s NWC cannot be dissolved or forced to resign their positions without following procedure.
The plaintiffs asked the court to make an order restraining the party from directing Mua’zu and other NWC members from resigning their positions without following the prescribed procedure in the party’s constitution.
They said the call for the resignation of the party’s NWC members will jeopardise the efforts of party members to reposition it for success in future elections.
No date has been fixed for the hearing of the case.
