Omale said the electoral body refused to process documents of APC candidates after they had paid for the forms and filled them for submission but they were told that an order had been given to the effect that APC candidates’ forms should not be processed.
Omale noted that the court would have entertained the interlocutory injunction on Wednesday but necessary parties had not been served.
He said after the court would have entertained the injunction, the substantive suit would be considered.
