The Court of Appeal in Abuja has overturned a Federal High Court judgment that ordered the deregistration of the African Democratic Congress (ADC), Accord Party and three other political parties.
In a ruling delivered on Tuesday, the appellate court held that the Forum of Former Legislators, which instituted the suit seeking the parties’ deregistration, lacked the legal standing (locus standi) to file the case.
The three-member panel, led by Justice Abba Bello, declared the earlier judgment delivered by Justice Peter Odo Lifu null and void, setting it aside in its entirety.
The Court of Appeal also awarded ₦1 million in costs against the Forum of Former Legislators, which filed the suit.
