An Awka High Court presided over by Justice Ike Ogu has restrained the All Progressives Congress (APC) from conducting any state, council, ward congress with a view to elect any executive, until the final determination of the substantive suit before the court. The suit was brought before the court in suit ref A/3/2022 by a member of the Anambra State executive of the party against the APC headquarters/ national chairman.
