JUSTICE Usman Mallam Na’Abba of a Kano State High Court Monday vacated an order he issued directing the suspension of Dr Umar Abdullahi Ganduje as National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC).
Justice Na’Abba’s earlier order was sequel to an application by Haladu Gwanjo and Laminu Sani Barguma who claimed to be the Chairman and Secretary, respectively of the APC Ganduje Ward in Dawakin Tofa Local Government Area of Kano State.
However, in a twist of events, Justice Na’Abba on Monday held, while vacating his earlier order, that upon reading a motion ex-parte together with 27 paragraph affidavit in support and a written address dated the 22nd day of April 2024 sworn to by one Glory Adah, a litigation secretary in the 4th respondent solicitors law firm, issued interim injunction.
According to the judge “…And after hearing, Mr. L. O. Oyewo Esq, with A. Falana Esq and J. Essiet Esq counsel’s of the 4th Respondent/Applicant, an order of interim injunction is hereby granted”.
The interim injunctive order is for staying the execution of the order of interim injunction contained in the ruling of the court delivered on the 17th of April 2024 directing parties to maintain status quo ante as of the 15th day of April 2024 in relation to the suspension of the 4th respondent/applicant from the 1st respondent by the Ganduje Ward Executive Committee pending the hearing and determination of the 4th respondent/applicant Motion on Notice.
The judge then adjourned to the 30th day of April 2024 for hearing on the case.
