APC rejects suit seeking third term for Buhari

The All Progressives Congress has distanced itself from the suit seeking an amendment of the Constitution to allow President Muhammadu Buhari run for a third term in office.

Charles Enya reportedly filed the suit (FHC/AI/CS/90/19) before a federal high court in Abakiliki, Ebonyi State.

The ruling party said the suit filed by  Enya, “a self proclaimed” member of the party, was “in bad taste;” describing him as “a busy body with ulterior motives.”

The APC in a statement by its National Publicity Secretary, Lanre Issa-Onilu, threatened a legal action against Enya, as well as “serious disciplinary action” if truly he was a member of the party.

In the suit filed at the Federal High Court in Abakaliki, Ebonyi State, Enya had prayed that the clauses restricting the President from seeking another term be removed from the constitution

He asked the court to order the National Assembly and the Attorney-General of the Federation, Abubakar Malami, to remove the constitutional clauses stopping Buhari from getting a third term.
