Court strikes out PDP’s suit seeking to unseat Amechi, Kwankwaso, others

An Abuja Federal High Court on Friday struck out a suit filed by the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), urging the court to sack its five governors who defected to APC.

Delivering his ruling, Justice Gabriel Kolawole, held that the suit's originating processes were invalid because they were wrongly issued and served on the defendants.

``This suit is struck out as the originating summons has been declared invalid.

``It is preposterous, audacious and breathtaking for the plaintiff to argue that the defendants sued individually in personal capacity, could be served through the office of the party to which they defected.
