An Abuja-based lawyer, Osigwe Momoh, has dragged the All Progressive Congress to a Federal High Court in Abuja over allegedly fielding presidential and vice president candidates of the party from the same religion for the 2023 election.
The lawyer in the suit asked the court for an order of perpetual injunction restraining the Independent Electoral Commission from publishing the name of the
presidential candidate of the APC, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, for alleged violation of the Nigerian constitution.
A copy of the court processes in the suit marked, FHC/ABJ/CS/1188/2022, was obtained by journalists in Abuja on Monday.
The plaintiff claimed that the decision to pick Tinubu and his running mate, Kashim Shettima, from the same religion (Section) violated the principle and the spirit of the Nigerian constitution.
The APC, Tinubu and INEC were named as 1st, 2nd and 3rd defendants respectfully.
