0:36Now PlayingDelivering judgment, Justice Salim Ibrahim held that the plaintiffs, led by PDP Board of Trustees Chairman Adolphus Wabara, lacked the legal standing to institute the suit. He consequently struck it out for want of jurisdiction.
The court upheld the preliminary objection filed by INEC and sustained similar objections raised by parties seeking to be joined in the matter. It ruled that the plaintiffs failed to establish that INEC had recognised the purported interim NWC or that they possessed the authority to sue on behalf of the PDP.
Members of the Wabara-led Board of Trustees had approached the court to compel INEC to update its records and recognise the factional interim NWC headed by Kabiru Turaki (SAN). They also sought an order directing the electoral commission to publish the names of the interim executives on its official website.
The plaintiffs argued that the names of members of the Turaki-led executive were forwarded to INEC through letters dated May 4. They further contended that, based on constitutional provisions and the PDP Constitution, the electoral body was obligated to recognise and act on correspondence from the interim leadership.
