Court Halts APC Congresses In Rivers State, Blocks National Leadership Intervention

0

A State High Court in Port Harcourt, Rivers State, has issued a restraining order prohibiting the National Working Committee (NWC) of the All Progressives Congress (APC) from conducting ward and local government congresses.

The ruling came in response to a motion ex parte brought before the court by Peter Ohochukwu and Hajia Ndidi-Chukwuma.

Justice Godwin Ollor, who presided over the case, issued an order restraining APC National Chairman Abdullahi Ganduje, Secretary Surajudeen Ajibola-Basiru, and the party itself from proceeding with the ward, local government, and state congresses scheduled for October 11th, 16th, and 26th, 2024.

The court’s decision also restricts the defendants from supervising, holding, monitoring, or otherwise conducting elections related to the formation of the Rivers State executive committee.

Additionally, the national leadership of the APC is prohibited from enacting any plan to suspend the current state executive led by Emeka Beke.

The case has been adjourned to September 9th for the hearing of the motion on notice.
