The Supreme Court has reserved judgement in a suit over the crisis rocking the Kano State chapter of the All Progressive Congress (APC).
The five-man panel of the Supreme Court led by Justice Mary Peter Odili, on Thursday, adjourned and reserved judgement after adoption of the briefs of all the parties in the appeal.
A preliminary objection was raised by Barr. Abdul Adamu Fagge, Counsel to the first, second and third respondents, APC, Mai Mala Buni and John James Akpanudoedehe, respectively, challenging the hearing of the appeal on the ground that one of the prayers of the appellants has to do with the national delegates to the convention of the party
He noted that the event has overtaken the situation since the convention has already taken place, hence the exercise has become academic.
However, Counsel to the appellants, Barr. Nuraini Jimoh, SAN, said the appeal is challenging the judgement of the Court of Appeal delivered 73 days after filing, contrary to section 285(12) of the constitution that stated that judgement should be delivered within 60 days in pre- election matters.
