Apc in turmoil as court suspends oshiomhole

You're referring to the recent development in the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Nigeria!

Yes, it's true. On April 7, 2020, a Federal High Court in Abuja suspended the National Chairman of the APC, Comrade Adams Oshiomhole, from office for 6 months. This decision was made by Justice Danlami Senchi, who ruled that Oshiomhole's suspension by the National Working Committee (NWC) of the party was valid.

The court's decision was a result of a suit filed by a member of the APC, Hon. Ibrahim Mahmud, who challenged Oshiomhole's suspension. Mahmud argued that the NWC had the power to suspend Oshiomhole under the party's constitution.

The suspension of Oshiomhole has sent shockwaves through the APC, with many party members and stakeholders expressing mixed reactions. Some have hailed the court's decision as a necessary step to restore order and discipline within the party, while others have criticized it as an attempt to undermine Oshiomhole's leadership.

The APC has been plagued by internal conflicts and crises in recent times, with many party members calling for Oshiomhole's resignation or removal. The party's National Executive Committee (NEC) had earlier suspended Oshiomhole and other party officials over allegations of anti-party activities and gross misconduct.

The suspension of Oshiomhole has raised questions about the future of the APC and its ability to function effectively without a clear leader. The party's National Secretary, Mai Mala Buni, has been appointed as the Acting National Chairman in Oshiomhole's absence.

It remains to be seen how the APC will navigate this crisis and whether Oshiomhole will appeal the court's decision or accept his suspension.
