A member of the Legal Committee of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Mr Ahmad El-Maruq, on Friday said that majority of the cases against APC were mainly from the opposition parties.
According to him, the cases would not hinder the party’s success in the 2023 general elections.
He made the observation when addressing a news conference on Friday in Kaduna State, shortly after a meeting of the committee.
According to him, no fewer than 30 aggrieved Northwest All Progressives Congress (APC) aspirants petitioned the Legal Committee of the party for redress.
He said the committee plans to visit the remaining five zones of the country to address legal issues in the party.
“Today the zonal legal field operations committee met in Kaduna.
“In attendance were legal advisers from Kano, Kebbi, Kaduna, Sokoto, as well as the National Headquarters,” he said.
El-Maruq said that the meeting addressed legal issues that emanated from the states Houses of Assembly, governorship, House of Representatives, Senate and Presidential primaries of the party.
“After such exercises complaints and petitions are usually received.
“The law has provided remedies for such complaints to be pursued in the various courts in the land.
“At this stage, other parties as well as aggrieved party members will employ legal representation, hence, the meeting was held to strategise ahead of the 2023 elections,” he added.
El-Maruq said the meeting gave the committee the opportunity to know and identified the number of cases filed in various courts against the party.
According to the the legal adviser, some of the cases which are from the opposition parties, would not affect the fortunes of the party in the 2023 general elections.
