A High Court in Abuja has set aside the interlocutory injunction against the March 26, 2022 All Progressives Congress (APC) Convention.
Recall that a Federal Capital Territory (FCT) High Court had earlier restrained the party from proceeding with its planned national convention.
Justice Bello Kawu had made an order restraining the party from going ahead with its national convention pending the determination of the suit marked FHC/HC/CV/2958/202.
Salisu Umoru had dragged the APC, the Chairman Caretaker Extraordinary Convention Planning Committee and Governor of Yobe state, Mai Mala Buni, and the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC through the court to challenge the planned convention.
In the motion, No FCT/HC/M/9655/21, the plaintiff prayed the court for an order of interlocutory injunction restraining the 1st and 2nd defendants, allies, agencies, privies representatives, associates or whoever was acting for them from organising, holding or conducting national convention of the APC in January and February or at any other date either before or after, pending the hearing and determination of the suit.
The claimant had informed the court that the mere inauguration of sub-committees for the March 26 National Convention when the order of the honourable court was in force was a demonstration of disdain for the rule of law in the country.
