The Federal High Court in Abuja on Tuesday adjourned until May 6 a suit seeking to uphold the indefinite suspension of Sen. Ireti Kingibe by the Wuse Ward chapter of the African Democratic Congress (ADC).
When the matter was called, counsel to the plaintiffs, Mr. Kolawole Olowookere, SAN, filed an application seeking to amend their originating summons.
Counsel to Kingibe, Mr. Marshall Abubakar, did not oppose the application but requested at least 48 hours to respond to the amended process.
The presiding judge, Justice Peter Lifu, subsequently adjourned the matter until May 6 for hearing.
The suit seeks a court order to uphold Kingibe’s suspension by the ADC Wuse Ward chapter.
Kingibe, who represents the Federal Capital Territory in the Senate, was suspended indefinitely by the ward over alleged anti-party activities and violations of the party’s constitution.
