A Federal High Court in Abuja has declined the request by Godwin Emefiele to restrain INEC and the Attorney General of the Federation (AGF) from taking any steps to prevent him from participating in the APC presidential primaries later this month.
He also argued that a Federal High Court in Umuahia, Abia State, had nullified section 12 ( of the Electoral Act.
Delivering a ruling on his application, Justice Ahmed Mohammed declined to order the maintenance of the status quo as prayed by Emefiele’s lawyer. Instead, Justice Mohammed ordered that the defendants be put on notice of the motion for them to respond by showing cause why the prayers sought by the plaintiff should not be granted.
An order is made to serve the court processes on the defendants.”the judge said
