A group (Conscience Group) within the All Progressive Congress (APC), has asked a Federal High Court in Abuja praying to sack the interim National
Chairman, Chief Bisi Akande and other executive members of the party.The group hinged its prayer on the ground that the party's constitution empowered the present executive council members to act in the interim for six months after which substantive executives should be put in place by a congress.
The plaintiffs, Chief Iheke Solomon and Chief Nnamdi Olebara who sued for themselves and on behalf of the conscience group submitted that the six months period provided by the constitution elapsed on January 31, 2013 and hence all the interim executives officers should have vacated the office.
Joined as first to fourth respondents are APC, Chief Bisi Akande, Alhaji Tijani Tumsah (as representatives of the national executive committee) and Independent National Electoral Commission INEC.
The case will come up Tuesday before Justice Abdul Kafarati.
