Justice Ahmed Mohammed of the Federal Capital Territory High
Court in Apo, Abuja, has given officials of the Youth Democratic Party 24 hours
to address a press conference and retract the misrepresentation of his judgment
delivered on March 4, 2015.
The court had, in the March 4 judgment, ordered the
Independent National Electoral Commission to register YDP as a political party
but the party officials had gone ahead to tell the media that the court also
ordered that the party should be allowed to participate in the forthcoming
elections or the elections be postponed.
Justice Mohammed, who also on Monday ordered the party
officials to file an affidavit of compliance, threatened to jail them if they
failed to carry out his directives.
