The planning is coordinated by a controversial leadership organ, the state transition committee of the ADC, led by Sadiq Dasin.
Commenting on the case after the court suspended the congresses and fixed the hearing of the case for next Wednesday, April 15, Yohanna Shehu said he sued the Sadiq Dasin committee because the way the committee went about the planning of the congresses was undemocratic.
"How can you plan the congresses of a party without due consultation with the state chairman?" Yohanna asked during a telephone conversation with The Nation.
