From Douglas Blessing, Port Harcourt
A suit has been filed at the Rivers State High Court, seeking an order of the Court to disqualify the CBN Governor, Godwin Emefiele from participating in the upcoming APC Presidential Primaries.


The action was on the grounds of Emefiele’s alleged non eligibility to participate in the Primaries as filed in Suit number PHC/1371/CS/2022, yesterday.


The Plaintiff Naapah ThankGod Bariledum who is an APC member in Ward 4 of Khana Local Government Area in Rivers State is asking the court to disqualify the CBN Governor, from participating in the primaries on the grounds that he is not eligible to participate in the process in view of the provisions of the 1999 Constitution, APC Constitution and the CBN Act. 


The Plaintiff is seeking for an exparte order to restrain the CBN Governor from participating in the primaries pending the final hearing of the suit. 


The Plaintiff argued among other things that the CBN Governor has not fulfilled the provisions of the CBN Act which would have allowed him to have the legal right to have a valid membership of the APC before participating in the Primaries.  


Bariledum asked the court to declare any interest in the Presidential race by the CBN Governor a nullity. 


The Court is also being asked to hear the matter urgently to avoid jeopardizing the APC Presidential Primaries and the entire Party.


Other Defendants in the Suit are the All Progressives Congress (APC) and the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) sued as the 2nd and 3rd Defendants. 


The Plaintiff is seeking also to via exparte application which is likely to be heard this week to stop the CBN Governor .
