FCT high court in Kubwa on friday vacated an interlocutory injunction earlier granted stopping the APC National Convention from holding. Mallam Salisu Umoru dragged APC, the chairman caretaker, extraordinar convention planning committee, Governor Maimala Buniand, the Independent National Electoral Commission(INEC) before the court to challenge the planned convention.
Interlocutort order made on Nov 18 by Justice Bello Kawu was vacated following the defence counsel, Shuaibu Aruwa, SAN’s application for the court to set it aside relying on the recent supreme court decision which held that a part member does not have the right to take the party court.
The case was however adjourned until March 30 for hearing the substantive suit. Aruwa had moved a motion seeking the setting aside of the interlocutory order and striking out the suit on want of Jurisdiction saying the application was supported by a five paragraph affidavit and a written address and adopted all the processes, praying the court to grant them in the interest of justice. 
The defence counsel added that the claimant counsel, Mike Enaharo -Ebah did not file any process to counter his application. Enaharo-Ebah responded saying Aruwa served him.
Claimant informed in court that the mere inauguration of subcommittees for the March 26 National Convention when the order of the honourable court is in force is a demonstration of disdain for the rule of law in the country. While March 30, 2022 was fixed for the continuation of hearing of the substantive suit, no date has been fixed for the commencement of contempt proceedings against the APC.
Claimant also commended INEC for standing by the provisions of the law and the order of the court which is still on force.
