Defendant Urges Reassignment of Legal Suit Involving ADC in Abuja Court

Nkemakolam Ukandu, defending the African Democratic Congress (ADC) in a legal case against Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), has requested the reassignment of the suit to another judge in the Federal High Court in Abuja. Ukandu raised issues of fair hearing and time constraints, citing a breach of fair hearing by Justice James Omotosho.

The case involves a motion seeking to further proceed with the suit pending the Chief Judge's decision. Plaintiff's counsel failed to serve an amended process on time, leading to a dispute over the timeline for the defendant's response.
