Ibrahim Namadi, a former House of Representatives aspirant for Jema’a/Sanga Federal Constituency, Kaduna State, under the APC, on Tuesday, dragged the party, INEC, and one Usman Anto, to the Kaduna Division of the Federal High Court.

Mr Namadi dragged them to the court to determine if the third defendant (Mr Anto) was qualified to have participated and or to vote and be voted for in the May 27 primary elections.

The Judge, A. Shagari, adjourned the case to November 18 for a report on service to the second defendant (INEC) and Mr Anto.

The first defendant’s (APC) counsel, Abdulaziz Sani, and that of the plaintiff, Babajide Joshua, were present at the court.

The third defendant, Mr Anto, was alleged in the court summons to have been indefinitely suspended as a member of the APC on December 5 2021, for anti-party activities.

Mr Namadi (Plaintiff) seeks to know the legalities behind his candidacy.

The case was transferred from the Federal High Court, Abuja.
