Breaking News: APC Sues LP And PDP To Court To Avoid Halting The Election

The All Progressives Congress (APC) and its presidential candidate, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, have filed a lawsuit in order to prevent the Labour Party (LP) and the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) from taking any action to obstruct the compilation and announcement of the results of the February 25 presidential election.

The Action Alliance and the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) were joined as defendants in the lawsuit, which was filed before the Federal High Court in Kano and was designated FHC/KN/CS/43/2023. Kashim Shettima, the vice president of the APC, was listed as a plaintiff.

The plaintiffs requested the court to issue an order prohibiting the defendants from discontinuing the compilation and release of the results in a motion on notice submitted with the original summons, because “damages will not adequately compensate for the injury that may be occasioned on the Plaintiffs if by the Defendants stop the collation of the result.”
