The Supreme Court has struck out a suit instituted against
the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, to enforce the party’s zoning and rotatory
policy ahead of the 2023 presidential election.
The Court on Friday, in a unanimous judgment delivered by
Justice Adamu Jauro, struck out the suit on the ground of lack of jurisdiction
to entertain it.
A Presidential aspirant of the PDP and former Deputy Speaker
of Abia State House of Assembly, Hon Cosmos Ndukwe instituted the suit against
his party, praying for an order to compel it to uphold the zoning and rotatory
policy of the party.
Specifically, the Presidential aspirant sought for order of
the court to compel PDP to zone the nomination of its presidential candidate to
the South East geo-political zone of the country.
However, Justice Jauro held that the suit was not
justiciable on the ground that the nomination of candidates for election is an
internal affairs of political parties.
