A Federal High Court in Abuja has struck out a suit seeking to compel the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, to recognise and publish the names of the Kabiru Turaki-led Interim National Working Committee of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
Justice Salim Ibrahim, in a judgement delivered on Friday,
held that the plaintiffs, led by the Chairman of the PDP Board of Trustees,
Senator Adolphus Wabara, lacked the legal standing to institute the suit and
consequently struck it out for want of jurisdiction.
The court upheld the preliminary objection filed by INEC and
sustained similar objections raised by parties seeking to be joined in the
suit, ruling that the plaintiffs failed to establish that INEC had recognised
the purported Interim National Working Committee or that they had the authority
to sue on behalf of the PDP.
