ApC & Ors which was filed to set aside APC Ward, LGA and State Congresses in Delta State.had approached the Court at the heels of the Ward Congress, which was widely reported as peaceful and acceptable in Delta State.

In his brief ruling, Justice Briki-Okolosi while striking out the case, further averred that similar cases like that of the plaintiffs has been decided previously by courts of co-ordinate jurisdiction.

While saying that the matter is an internal affairs of the APC which the court will not dabble into and that the court is not a political arena which politicians tries to drag it into.

Principal among the reliefs sought by the Claimants/Applicants and thrown away was “An order of interim injunction of this Honourable Court restraining the 2nd – 14th Defendants/Respondents from further acting or parading themselves as the members of the Caretaker/ Extraordinary Convention Planning Committee (CECPC) of the 1st Defendant pending the hearing and determination of the Motion on Notice already filed and served in the suit.
