A Chieftain of the All Progressives Congress, APC in Zamfara state Sani Shinkafi says there is no order from the Federal High Court restraining the party from conducting congresses in the state.
He stated this at a news conference, in Gusau, while commenting on the November 13 ward congresses conducted by the party in the state.
APC leadership in the state, under the Governor Bello Matawalle faction, led by Senator Hassan Nasiha, on Saturday conducted congresses in the 147 wards of the state.
The Congresses took stakeholders by the storm as there was a Federal High Court Order restraining the APC from further action, pending the determination of a suit filed by 10 local governments’ party chairmen in the state.
The chairmen had filed the matter before the court to contest their dissolution from office before their tenure of ended.
The Governor Mai Mala Buni-led APC National Caretaker and Convention Committee announced the dissolution of all the party executives in the state on June 28, shortly before Matawalle’s defected to the APC.
The APC leadership under former Governor Abdul’aziz Yari-led faction, in a statement, however, urged its members in the state to boycott the congresses, organised by the Matawalle faction to respect the court order.
