Suspension: Oshiomhole heads to Appeal Court, Joins Police, DSS in fresh lawsuit
Comrade Adams Oshiomhole has appealed the court ruling suspending him as the national chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC).
Oshiomhole filed an application before the court of appeal in Abuja on Wednesday, hours after he was suspended, multiple sources has confirmed
A federal capital territory (FCT) high court had asked Oshiomhole to step aside following an application of interlocutory injunction filed by one Oluwale Afolabi, seeking his removal of as APC national chairman.
Danlami Senchi, the judge, had said the ruling party’s chairman will remain suspended pending the determination of the suit.
He had also said it was wrong of the APC to have kept Oshiomhole as chairman after he was suspended by his state chapter of the party, in November.
But the former labour leader has now proceeded to the court of appeal to also seek a stay of execution of the judgement.
Among those he joined as defendants are Mohammed Adamu, inspector-general of police, as well as the Department of State Services (DSS).
The police earlier took over the APC headquarters in Abuja, even as the party said it will comply with the court order suspending Oshiomhole.
Looks like the cat lost its nine lives by one.
The suspension is overdue I don’t know why he is still the party chairman after he failed the party on many occasions
Oshiomohle should not appeal until the substantive suit is heard. Is preempting the outcome of the substantive suit which is pending at court.
