Just in court sets aside ruling suspending oshiomhole
It appears that the Court of Appeal has set aside its earlier ruling suspending Adams Oshiomhole, the National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC).
Here's a brief summary of the development:
- On March 4, 2020, the Federal High Court in Abuja had ordered the suspension of Oshiomhole pending the determination of a suit filed by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) against him.
- The court's ruling was based on an application by the EFCC, which alleged that Oshiomhole was involved in money laundering and other financial crimes.
- However, on March 16, 2020, the Court of Appeal set aside the ruling of the Federal High Court, effectively lifting the suspension of Oshiomhole.
- The Court of Appeal held that the Federal High Court lacked the jurisdiction to suspend Oshiomhole, as the suit filed by the EFCC was still pending before the court.
It's worth noting that Oshiomhole has been embroiled in several controversies and legal battles in recent times, including allegations of corruption and abuse of office. The EFCC has also been investigating him over alleged financial improprieties.
The development is likely to have significant implications for the APC and Nigerian politics, as Oshiomhole is a key figure in the party and has been instrumental in shaping its policies and strategies.
