NAN reports that Justice Inyang Ekwo, in a judgment, held that the suit was an abuse of the court process.The PDP had, in a suit marked: FHC/ABJ/CS/1324/2022, sued the Independent National Electoral Commission , Governor Abdulrazaq and APC as 1st to 3rd respondents, respectively.
The PDP, therefore, sought an order disqualifying Abdulrazaq and APC from participating in the Kwara governorship poll, among others. Delivering the judgment, Justice Ekwo agreed with the 2nd and 3rd respondents that the PDP had no locus standi to file the matter.He said the court found that the action was incompetent for lack of locus standi.
He, therefore, said that since the PDP had no locus standi, it also did not have any cause of action against the respondents.“It is expressed in the provision of Section 29 of the Electoral Act, 2022 that the right of action on the matter for which the applicant/respondent has filed this action is given to ‘any aspirant who participated in the primaries of his political party’.
