Breaking court orders suspension of oshiomhole as apc chairman

A very timely and relevant topic!

On April 24, 2020, the Court of Appeal in Abuja suspended the suspension of Adams Oshiomhole as the National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC). This decision was made after Oshiomhole approached the court to challenge his suspension by the APC's National Executive Committee (NEC) on June 25, 2020.

Here's a brief background:

In June 2020, the APC's NEC suspended Oshiomhole as the party's chairman due to allegations of corruption and abuse of office. The suspension was triggered by a report by a committee set up by the party to investigate allegations of corruption against Oshiomhole.

However, Oshiomhole challenged his suspension in court, arguing that it was unlawful and unconstitutional. He contended that the NEC lacked the power to suspend him as the party's chairman.

The Court of Appeal, in its ruling, agreed with Oshiomhole's argument, stating that the NEC's decision to suspend him was unlawful and unconstitutional. The court held that the NEC's powers are limited to removing the party's chairman through a process of impeachment, which was not followed in this case.

As a result, the court ordered the suspension of Oshiomhole's suspension, effectively reinstating him as the APC's National Chairman. This means that Oshiomhole is now free to resume his duties as the party's chairman, pending the outcome of any further legal proceedings.

It's worth noting that this ruling is not the final word on the matter, as the APC's NEC may still appeal the decision to the Supreme Court. Additionally, the party's leadership may also take steps to challenge Oshiomhole's reinstatement or seek to remove him from office through other means.

Overall, this development is likely to have significant implications for the APC and Nigerian politics as a whole, given Oshiomhole's influential role in the party and his connections to the country's political elite.
