Court declares political parties’ diaspora chapters illegal, nullifies UK Congress
A Federal Capital Territory (FCT) High Court in Maitama has declared diaspora chapters of Nigerian political parties illegal and subsequently nullified the All Progressives Congress (APC) party congress held in the United Kingdom.
