As reported by The Punch, presiding Judge, Justice Inyang Ekwo, had earlier fixed Wednesday, September 18, but the matter was not listed in the Court’s cause list today.

It was gathered that all parties involved had earlier been informed of the new development.

The North Central APC Forum, led by Saleh Zazzaga had prayed the court to bar Ganduje from further parading himself as the chairman of the APC.

He challenged Ganduje’s appointment as the APC Chairman when he is not from the North Central geo-political zone.

The forum argued that Ganduje is occupying the office of the APC chairman illegally not being from a state in the North Central geo-political zone.

The plaintiffs also asked the court to issue an order directing INEC not to accord recognition to all actions taken by the APC, including congresses, primaries, and nominations
