The Court sitting in Abuja, declared the continous retention of all executive officers of the Allied People’s Movement, APM, as ultra vire, unconstitutional, illegal and a direct affront to the Electoral Act, 2010.

Jutice Donatus Okorowo, held that the holding officers of the party (APM) was against the party’s constitution, hence, declaring their seat unconstitutional and void of following due process. He gave the ruling on 20 May, 2022.
