APC issues seven-day ultimatum to members to discontinue all pending court cases

The All Progressives Congress (APC) through its National Working Committee (NWC) on Thursday, 21 March issued a directive to all members to halt all cases filed in the name of the party. Seven days has been communicated as the timeline to discontinue or withdraw such pending litigations, threatening sanctions to any erring party member. The decision was reached at the 146th meeting of the ruling party’s highest administrative organ in Abuja, a statement by the National Secretary, Senator Ajibola, Basiru, confirmed yesterday. “That all ongoing cases filed in the name of the party or associated with matters concerning the Party and involving party members must be discontinued and withdrawn from the courts within the next seven days. Failure to comply with this resolution will result in disciplinary action being taken against any member responsible for such suits, including immediate suspension and ultimately expulsion from the party.” The committee specifically mentioned the party’s local chapter in Benue State, directing members to immediately adhere to the directive.
