FCT, Abuja - Legal actions seeking to sack Governor Mai Mala Buni-led's caretaker committee of the All Progressives Congress (APC) have been struck out by the Federal High Court in Abuja.

The Nation reported that the court in two rulings on Tuesday, June 22, declared that the plaintiffs in both suits, marked: FHC/ABJ/CS/736/2020 and FHC/ABJ/CS/1589/2021, lacked legal right to institute their cases against the party.
Justice Taiwo faults the legal actions
The presiding judge, Justice Taiwo Taiwo, stated:
“I am of the well considered view that issues raised by the plaintiffs are not justiceable. They are issues of internal affairs of a political party.
“It is sheer waste of time and there is no reason to consider the substantive matter.''
He then struck out both cases.
