Stakeholders in the All Progressive Congress (APC) in Abia State have taken the party’s national leadership to court over a list of delegates provided by a faction of the party in the state for Saturday’s National Convention.
Prior to Saturday’s exercise, stakeholders led by Mr Ibe Ogwuma filed a lawsuit, FCT /HC/CV/1012/2022, demanding the dissolution of the ostensibly-conducted Congresses by Chief Ikechi Emenike’s side.
The stakeholders went to an Abuja High Court and demanded that the Emenike-led faction be disqualified.
Stakeholders appealed for an order directing the APC’s National Caretaker Committee, chaired by Governor Mai Mala Buni, to appoint a caretaker committee in Abia State, as proposed by an APC reconciliation committee.
Stakeholders also asked for an order prohibiting Chief Kingsley Ononugbu from posing as the state chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the state.
In the originating summons, the stakeholders joined Chief Friday Nwosu and Ikenna Anyalewachi as respondents.
They claimed that the two lacked the authority to compile and present a list of delegates to the party’s National Convention on behalf of the state chapter.
Stakeholders also requested an order prohibiting the APC from associating, discussing, or collecting any convention list or similar information from Emenike and Ononugbu.
In a separate suit no FCT/HC/CV M/3785/2022, Ogwuma also sought an interim injunction restraining the APC from associating, discussing or collecting any convention list or it’s like from Emenike and Ononugbo pending the determination of the substantive suit before the court.
He also sought an interim order restraining Ononugbu from parading himself as the state chairman of the party on the basis that he is a product of a kangaroo congress.
