The Federal High Court in Abuja, has deferred hearing of a suit seeking to remove the National Chairman of the ruling All Progressives Congress, (APC), Abdullahi Ganduje, from office, till July 5.
Justice Inyang Ekwo, adjourned to allow the litigants to respond to a counter-affidavit the embattled APC National Chairman filed to challenge the competence of the suit.
When the case was called up for hearing on Wednesday, counsel for the plaintiffs, Benjamin Davou, told the court that he would need time to respond to the fresh process that was served on him by Gandujes lawyer.
Davou requested for an adjournment, which was not opposed by counsel for the APC National Chairman, Raymond Asikeni, (SAN). Justice Ekwo however adjourned the matter for hearing.
The suit, was brought before the court by aggrieved members of the party under the platform of North-Central APC Forum, querying the propriety of Gandujes appointment as the Chairman of the APC from the North-West geo-political zone.
