APC Chairman, Oshiomhole appeals judgement suspending him

Adams Oshiomhole has filed an appeal against the Federal High Court judgement which sacked him as the National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC).

The former Edo State Governor appealed his sack on 4 grounds. He faulted the “whole ruling” of the trial court which granted the motion on notice for interlocutory injunction,

In the appeal which has Mustapha Salihu, Anselm Ojezua, Sani Gomna, Oshawo Steve, Fani Wabulari, and Princewill Ejogharado as respondents, Oshiomhole stated that the trial court erred in law and arrived at a wrong conclusion which occasioned a miscarriage of justice when it decided that his performance as APC national chairman would interfere with the party membership rights of the first to sixth respondents in the suit, at the interlocutory stage.

The Inspector General of Police and Department of State Services (DSS) were listed as the seventh and eighth respondents.

This is coming just after it was confirmed that a team of policemen took over the national secretariat of the ruling party in the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) to ensure there's no breakdown of law and order.
