Justice Salim Ibrahim of the Federal High Court, Abuja, Friday, struck out a suit seeking to compel the Independent National Electoral Commission(INEC) to recognise and publish names of the Kabiru Turaki-led interim National Working Committee of the Peoples Democratic Party(PDP).
The held that the plaintiffs, led by PDP Board of Trustees Chairman, Sen. Adolphus Wabara, lacked the legal standing to institute the suit and consequently struck it out for want of jurisdiction.
It upheld the preliminary objection filed by INEC and sustained similar objections raised by parties seeking to be joined in the suit.
The judgement held that the plaintiffs failed to establish that INEC had recognised the purported interim NWC or that they had the authority to sue on behalf of the PDP.
