Court Stops APC From Disrupting NEC Meeting On Tuesday -

The High Court of the Federal Capital Territory, Abuja has barred the National Legal Adviser of the All Progressives Congress, Babatunde Ogala; the National Publicity Secretary, Lanre Issa-Onilu; and Waziri Bulama from embarking on any process that may disrupt the meeting of the APC National Executive Committee, NEC, being planned by the party’s National Working Committee and scheduled for March 17.

Justice S.U. Bature, in his ruling on Wednesday, gave a restraining order on following an ex parte application by one Mustapha Salihu.

The court also made an order “compelling the 4th defendant (APC) to give effect to the resolution of the National Working Committee convening the National Executive Committee meeting of the 4th defendant (APC) scheduled for 17th March 2020 or any subsequent date pending the hearing and determination of the Motion on Notice already filed.”

His lordship also granted leave to the applicant to serve originating summons on Ogala, Issa-Onilu, Bulama and the APC “by substituted means, to wit: by serving same on any adult at the office of the Deputy National Secretary of the 4th defendant at the APC National Secretariat and deem same as proper service.”
