Oshiomholes suspension andrew emwanta drags justice lewis allagoa to the njc
It appears that you're referring to a recent development in Nigeria's political landscape. Here's a summary of the situation:
- Adams Oshiomhole, the former National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), was suspended by the party's National Working Committee (NWC) in June 2020.
- Andrew Emwanta, a chieftain of the APC, has dragged Justice Lewis Allagoa, a judge of the Federal High Court, to the National Judicial Council (NJC) over the suspension of Oshiomhole.
- Emwanta is seeking the NJC's intervention to compel Justice Allagoa to vacate his judgment that upheld Oshiomhole's suspension from the APC.
The background to this development is that Oshiomhole was suspended by the APC NWC following allegations of gross misconduct, including anti-party activities and abuse of office. He subsequently approached the court to challenge his suspension, but Justice Allagoa dismissed his suit, upholding the suspension.
Emwanta, who is a member of the APC, is now seeking the NJC's intervention to challenge Justice Allagoa's judgment, arguing that the judge erred in law by not considering the merits of Oshiomhole's case. Emwanta is seeking an order directing Justice Allagoa to set aside his judgment and allow Oshiomhole to continue as the APC National Chairman.
The NJC has yet to take a decision on Emwanta's petition, but the development has sparked controversy in the political landscape, with many observers questioning the motives behind Emwanta's move.
