Daniel Bwala sues APC, demands payment of N120m legal fees

Daniel Bwala, spokesperson for the Atiku/Okowa presidential
campaign council, has filed a suit against the All Progressives Congress (APC)
and its national chairman, Abdullahi Adamu, over alleged N120 million debt.

Bwala said he is being owed legal fees for services rendered
to the party.

In the suit marked CV/2009/2023 and filed before a federal
capital territory (FCT) high court, Bwala is praying the court for an order
compelling the APC and its chairman to pay him the 120m debt and another N25m
as cost of the suit.

He also prayed the court to compel the defendants to pay 10
percent interest on the judgment sum until it is liquidated.

 “The claimant took
steps to file all court processes, appeared in all the cases, both within and
outside jurisdiction (Abuja, Osun state, Cross River state, Kaduna state, Benue
state and Ondo state) and prosecuted the cases diligently to their logical conclusion,”
the court document reads.

“That the claimant sent progress reports to the defendants
on every occasion any of the matters came up in court.”

The claimant said the fees for the nine concluded cases
handled by his firm, Crystal Chambers, summed up to N135 million out of which
the defendants have paid N15 million.

Bwala was a member of the APC before he decamped to the PDP.
