Court
The Federal High Court in Abuja on Friday ordered accelerated hearing in a suit filed by Sen. Adolphus Wabara-led Board of Trustees (BoT) of the Kabir Turaki faction of the PDP against the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC).
Justice Salim Ibrahim gave the order after counsel to the plaintiffs, Chief Gordy Uche, SAN, informed the court that the suit is time-bound based on INEC’s revised timetable and schedule of activities for the 2027 general elections which gave July as ultimatum.
The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that members of the Wabara-led BoT and the PDP had filed the fresh suit seeking an order of the court compelling INEC to recognise the Turaki-led interim National Working Committee (NWC) of the party on its official website.
