BREAKING: Appeal Court Restores Oshiomhole’s Powers As APC National Chairman

A Court of Appeal in Abuja Monday unanimously granted an exparte order of stay of execution of the Federal Capital Territory, FCT, High Court which stripped Comrade Adams Oshiomhole of his powers as the National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress, APC.

The 3-man panel of justices chaired by Justice Abubakar Datti Yahaha gave the order followed an ex-parte motion filed by Oshiomhole through his lawyer, Mr. Wale Olanipekun.

Approving Oshiomhole’s appeal in a unanimous judgment, the court set aside the ruling of the FCT High Court filed by Mustapha Salihu and consequently, restrained Salihu and others from interfering in the affairs of APC.

The court also restrained security operatives from taking any steps to give effect to the ruling of Justice Danlami Senchi of the FCT High Court pending the determination of Oshiomhole’s appeal before the justices.

The court had initially declined to sit over the case but in a twist, reversed itself and opted to hear the suit at 4:pm.
