The National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress, Adams Oshiomhole, has filed an appeal; against his suspension from office by a court.
An FCT High Court had on Wednesday granted an order of interim injunction stopping Oshiomhole from parading himself as the National Chairman of APC, pending the determination of a suit.
Justice Danlami Senchi, who granted the injunction, held that political parties must be bound by their constitution and having been suspended by his ward, Oshiomhole becomes restrained from functioning as the National Chairman of the party pending the hearing and determination of the substantive suit.
The judge fixed hearing for April 7 and 8, 2020.
An ex-parte application filed by Oluwole Afolayan on behalf of the National Vice Chairman, North East of the APC, Mustapha Salihu; a factional Chairman of the APC in Edo State, Anselm Ojezua; and others, is seeking a court-sanctioned removal of Oshiomhole from office.
However, shortly after the judgment, which the party had promised to abide with, Oshiomhole filed an appeal at the Court of Appeal, Abuja Division.
He and the APC were the Appellants, while those who dragged him to court in the first instance, the Inspector General of Police and the Department of State Services were among the Respondents.
