The Federal High Court sitting in Benin City, the Edo State Capital has adjourned to Monday, the adoption of processes in the suit challenging the planned mode of the All Progressives Congress primaries ahead of the governorship election.
The suit was filed by Kenneth Asekhome and Matthew Iduoriyekemwen against the APC suspended National Chairman Adams Oshimhole, INEC and the Inspector General of Police.
During proceedings on Friday, the court ruled on applications including one filed by the 4th defendant, the IGP, who is seeking to be struck out of the suit.
It, however, did not grant the application.

Another application by parties seeking to be joined, filed by Osagie Ize-Iyamu, Pius Odubu and Osaro Obaze was also dismissed.
These parties have, however, decided to appeal the ruling.
The counsel for the second defendant had also filed and sought to be heard in an application seeking the dismissal of the suit on the grounds that the claimants have been expelled from the party and not aspirants in the primary election.
The court, therefore, ruled that this application would be heard in consolidation with the originating summons.
