Adams Oshiomhole has
appealed the court ruling suspending him as the national chairman of the All
Progressives Congress (APC).
A
copy of his application filed before the court of appeal in Abuja on Wednesday,
hours after he was suspended was seen
A federal capital
territory (FCT) high court had asked Oshiomhole to step aside following an
application of interlocutory injunction filed by one Oluwale Afolabi, seeking
his removal of as APC national chairman.
Danlami Senchi, the
judge, had said the ruling party’s chairman will remain suspended pending the
determination of the suit.
He had also said it
was wrong of the APC to have kept Oshiomhole as chairman after he was suspended
by his state chapter of the party, in November.
But the former
labour leader has now proceeded to the court of appeal to also seek a stay of
execution of the judgement.
Among those he
joined as defendants are Mohammed Adamu, inspector-general of police, as well
as the Department of State Services (DSS).
The police earlier
took over the APC headquarters in Abuja, even as the party said it will comply
with the court order suspending Oshiomhole.
