Judge’s Absence Stalls Judgement in Suit Seeking De-registration of ADC, Accord, Three Other Political Parties

The absence of Justice Peter Lifu of a Federal High Court, Abuja, yesterday stalled delivery of a judgement in a suit seeking the de-registration of the African Democratic Congress (ADC), Accord Party (AP), Action Peoples Party (APP), Action Alliance (AA) and the Zenith Labour Party (ZLP), over alleged constitutional breaches.

It would be recalled that Justice Lifu had on May 20, adjourned to June 5, to decide whether the affected parties should be allowed to participate in future elections in the country, having failed to win any seat in previous elections.

However, the judgement could not be delivered as scheduled due to the absence of the judge.
