A Federal High Court sitting in Port Harcourt has issued an order restraining the All Progressives Congress (APC) and its National Chairman, Abdullahi Ganduje, from conducting congresses in Rivers State without including the claimants/applicants.
The suit was filed by Samuel Uchegule Okwu Joebrown-Ndike, and Peace Oganu, who represent APC members aspiring for various positions in the congresses.
According to them, after paying for nomination forms, they were denied access to the forms, thus prompting the legal action.
The presiding judge, Justice G.V. Obomanu, also issued an interim injunction, specifically barring the defendants from proceeding with the scheduled congresses on November 23 and 30, 2024, or any other date.
The case was adjourned to December 3, 2024, for the hearing of the motion on notice.
