An FCT High Court on Thursday extended an order earlier permitting Victor Giadom to act as the national chairman of the All Progressives Congress to 14 days.
Court Order
The judge, Samira Bature, had on March 16 granted the interim order in a motion ex-parte, marked FCT/HC/M/6447/2020, filed by APC National Vice Chairman (North-East), Mustapha Salihu.
Mr Salihu had approached the court, through the exparte motion, seeking for an interim order allowing Mr Giadom to pilot the affairs of the party as acting chairman.
The applicant also sought an interim order restraining the APC and its officers or anyone purporting to act as an officer of the 4th defendant (APC) from preventing or in any way disturbing Mr Giadom from functioning as the acting chairman.
Mr Bature granted a two-week extension of the court's March 16 interim order in line with Rule 3 of the COVID-19 Practice Direction of the FCT High Court.
