BDP operative, AG in legal tussle

The applicant, Peter Williams, who is the father of musician, Odirile Sento, popularly known as Vee in music circles, has issued summons against the AG alleging that his chairmanship of the CDC was unlawfully terminated, hence he was denied payments of emoluments and benefits attached to the office. According to Williams’s cause of action based on an interpretation of section 20 (2) of the LGA of 2012 which is to the effect that his appointment to the chairmanship would “only come to an end when incoming chairperson is elected and takes over”.

In his heads of argument, Williams says that the case before Court is fairly straightforward.
