The plaintiffs sued INEC as sole defendant in the suit.

Meanwhile, when the case was called on Friday, Chief Gordy Uche, SAN, announced appearance for all the eight plaintiffs, including PDP, that is, the eighth plaintiff.

But Mr Sunday Ameh, SAN, also stood up shortly after Uche made his appearance and also announced his appearance for the eighth defendant (PDP). The development, however, generated some confusion in court.

Mr Turaki, the factional national charman of PDP; Professor Jerry Gana, among others, were in court for the Friday's proceedings.
