The Federal High Court in Abuja on Friday dismissed a suit filed by Adolphus Wabara-led Board of Trustees (BoT) of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) seeking an order for the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to recognise its faction.
Justice Salim Ibrahim, in a judgement, described the suit as “an abuse of court process, unmeritorious and lacking in merit.”
Justice Ibrahim held that the plaintiffs failed to prove any entitlement to the reliefs sought
The judge also agreed with the preliminary objection filed by the INEC that the court lacked the jurisdiction to entertain the case.
Justice Ibrahim, who affirmed the leadership of Mohammed Abdulrahman-led PDP – the faction loyal to the FCT Minister, Nyesom Wike -said “the preliminary objections filed by all the defendants succeed.”
