The proposed congress of a faction of the All Progressive Congress (APC) in the United Kingdom scheduled to hold today might have suffered a set back.

The party’s congress might not hold as scheduled owing to a pending suit filed by the party and its Chairman, Hon. Tunde Doherty, who is also the Chairman APC committee of Diaspora Chairmen, against Mr. Joseph Adebola.

The hearing in the suit, pending before the County Court Central London, had already been fixed for April 19, 2023.

These were contained in a letter written by Waterhouse Solicitors Limited, the plaintiffs’ counsel, to the defendant informing him to stop the proposed congress.
