A Federal High Court sitting in Abuja has fixed May 24 to hear the suit instituted against the President, Muhammadu Buhari by the Peoples Democratic Party on the controversial sections 84 (11) and (12) of the Electoral Act 2022.
Justice Inyang Ekwo fixed the new date on Monday to enable Buhari and the PDP to address him on the effect of the Court of Appeal judgment in Abuja which declared the contentious section 84 (12) as unconstitutional, null, and void.
Section 84 (12) of the Electoral Act orders all political appointees to resign from their positions 30 days before the conduct of the primary election that would produce candidates for elective offices in the 2023 general election.
