Justice Inyang Ekwo fixed the date after parties in the suit confirmed joining issues with one another.

The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that the PDP is praying the court for an order removing Matawalle as governor over his defection from the party to All Progressives Congress (APC).

The party also asked the court to sack the senators, House of Representatives members and State House of Assembly’s members who decamped alongside the governor to APC.
