National Chairmanship of APC: Court Saves Oshiomhole
An FCT High Court, yesterday turned down an Exparte Application filed by the National Vice Chairman North East of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Comrade Mustapha Salihu, the factional Chairman of the APC in Edo state, Anselm Ojezua and others, seeking to compel Comrade Adams Oshiomhole to vacate office as the national chairman of the party.
A faction of the party loyal to Edo State Governor, Godwin Obaseki had called for removal of Oshiomhole whom they claimed has been suspended by the party in the state.
However, the move to remove Oshiomhole as national chairman was frustrated when the court refused to grant the Ex Parte motion filed by Salihu, Ojezua and others.
The court ordered that the Defendants (Oshiomhole, APC and others) be put on notice before the motion is heard so as to ensure fair hearing.
In a motion filed by their Counsel, Oluwole Afolabi, Comrade Mustapha Salihu, Ojezua & others asked the court to stop the Defendant (Oshiomhole) from parading himself as national chairman of the APC just as they urged the Inspector General of Police, the Director-General of the Department of State Services (DSS) not to allow the Defendant access to the office of the chairman pending the determination of the Motion on Notice in the suit.
When the matter came up for hearing, yesterday, Counsel to Oshiomhole and APC, Demian D. Dodo (SAN) told the court that they had not been served any notice and drew the court’s attention to the Memorandum of Appearance and Undertaking to Accept Service of processes on behalf of the 1st & 2nd Defendants.
