A federal capital territory high court on Monday granted an
interim order allowing Victor Giadom, acting national secretary of the All
Progressives Congress (APC), to act as the party’s national chairman.
Samira Bature, a judge, gave the order following a motion
ex-parte filed by Mustapha Salihu, the party’s national vice chairman,
north-east.
Salihu had sought an interim order allowing Giadom to act as
national chairman and preside over meetings of the party’s national executive
committee (NEC) pending the decision of the party’s NEC.
He also sought an order restraining the APC and its officers
or anyone from preventing Giadom from functioning as the acting chairman
pending the hearing of the motion on notice.
The judge granted all the prayers sought by the applicant
and adjourned the matter to March 20.
Meanwhile, an appeal court in Abuja has ordered the APC not
to enforce the ruling of a FCT high court which ordered Oshiomhole’s
suspension.
In his ruling on Monday, Abubakar Yahaya, chairman of a
three-man panel, held that Oshiomhole remains chairman of the ruling party
pending the determination of his application.
Oshiomhole had asked the court to set aside the suspension
order.
Shortly after the court ordered his suspension, Gaidom said
he had taken over control of the ruling party.
