PLATEAU: SUIT NO: FHC/J/CS/03/2024: PDP VS INEC AND 18 OTHERS: CASE ADJOURNED TO 14TH MAY, 2024

 

By: Amb. Valentine Adese (JP),

The Federal High Court (FHC), Jos Division has again adjourned the hearing of Suit No: FHC/J/CS/03/2024, between the Plateau State chapter of the Peoples’ Democratic Party (PDP), INEC, and the 16 Elected Plateau State House of Assembly Members to the 14^th of May, 2024 for further hearing.

The matter was adjourned today, after the Counsel for the 1^st and 2^nd Defendants (Speaker and the PLHA) Sabo Longji (Esq), a Director of Civil Litigation from the State Ministry of Justice, applied for an adjournment to enable him to file his processes against the Originating Summons filed by the PDP.

Longji told the Court that he has not been able to file the processes because of lack of resources.

Although other Defendants' Counsel objected to the application and even requested a Cost of Two Million if granted, the Court granted the Application.
