The Federal High Court in Abuja has struck out a legal battle seeking to prohibit Senator Ireti Kingibe from participating in all activities of the African Democratic Congress (ADC).

This is coming after she was allegedly suspended from the party by the Wuse Ward Executive in Abuja.

Justice Peter Odo Lifu in a ruling on Friday, held that the issue of discipline and suspension upon which the suit was predicated was an internal affair of the ADC that did not need the intervention of any Court.

Senator Kingibe, representing the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) in the Senate, was said to have been suspended on March 10 by her Wuse Ward Executive and also allegedly ratified by two-thirds of the leaders on allegations of anti-party activities and disregard for the Constitution of the ADC.

Those who sued the Senator in the suit marked FHC/ABJ/ CV/539/2026 are Okezuo Godfrey Anayo and Isaiah Ojonugwa Samuel, on behalf of themselves and ward members as plaintiffs, while the serving Senator is the sole defendant.

In the suit filed on their behalf by a Senior Advocate of Nigeria, Kolawole Olowookere and argued before Justice Lifu, the aggrieved ADC members in Wuse of Abuja applied for an order of interim injunction restraining Kingibe from parading herself as a member of ADC pending the hearing and determination of their motion on notice for interlocutory injunction.

They also asked the judge to restrain the Senator from performing any function, attending meetings or performing activities reserved for ADC members or representing the party in any activities.

Besides, the Ward Executive Committee asked that she be restrained from further interfering with the administration of the ward, ward register and other activities.
