Dont bar ajimobi others from nec meeting court orders apc

A current issue in Nigeria!

You're referring to the controversy surrounding the National Executive Committee (NEC) meeting of the All Progressives Congress (APC) and the court orders related to the participation of former Oyo State Governor, Abiola Ajimobi.

To recap, Ajimobi was appointed as the Acting National Chairman of the APC by the party's National Working Committee (NWC) in June 2020, following the resignation of Adams Oshiomhole. However, his appointment was challenged in court by some party members, who argued that he was not qualified to hold the position.

In July 2020, a Federal High Court in Abuja ordered the APC to suspend Ajimobi from participating in any party activity pending the determination of the suit. The court also ordered the party to maintain the status quo ante, which meant that the party's leadership structure should remain as it was before Ajimobi's appointment.

Despite these court orders, the APC went ahead to hold its NEC meeting on June 25, 2020, where Ajimobi was present and participated in the proceedings. The meeting was attended by some party leaders, including the President, Muhammadu Buhari, and the Vice President, Yemi Osinbajo.

The controversy surrounding Ajimobi's participation in the NEC meeting has sparked heated debates and legal battles within the party. Some party members have argued that the party's leadership should respect the court orders and exclude Ajimobi from party activities, while others have defended his participation, citing the party's internal processes and the need to move forward.

In light of these developments, it is essential for the APC to respect the court orders and maintain the status quo ante, as ordered by the court. This means that Ajimobi should be excluded from participating in any party activity until the court's determination of the suit.

Furthermore, the party should also ensure that its internal processes and procedures are followed, and that all party members are treated fairly and equally. The party's leadership should also work towards resolving the controversy and finding a lasting solution to the issue.

Ultimately, the APC's decision to respect the court orders and maintain the status quo ante will help to maintain the party's integrity and credibility, and ensure that the party remains a viable platform for Nigerian politics.
