Embattled Chairman of the All Progressives Congress, APC,
Adams Oshiomhole says there is no crisis within the party’s National Working
Committee, NWC.
The former Edo State Governor stated this when be addressed
members of the National Working Committee (NWC) in Abuja which had in attendance members
of both pro and anti-Oshiomhole groups on Tuesday.
The APC National Chairman, who confirmed that he was dragged
to court, said such “was one of the tenets of democracy and we will bounce
back.”
The former Labour leader said, “despite what we have passed
through, this NWC is not divided.”
“I think that God is never wrong, He has allowed what has
happened to happen so that we all can learn, everybody re-examine his
conscience, strengthen those bonds of friendship, bonds of solidarity and work
as a family.
“I am the first to admit that I am not the best chairman in
the world and I will never be. But no one can fault the sincerity of my
purpose.
Recall that some aggrieved party members dragged Oshiomhole
to court in a bid to remove him from office.
A Federal Capital Territory, FCT, High Court had ordered him
to stop parading himself as national Chairman pending the determination of a
suit seeking to remove him as APC Chairman.
Following the suit filed, Justice Danladi Senchi had ordered
an interim injunction suspending Oshiomhole as National Chairman and ordered
him to stay away from the party’s secretariat.
The court’s order was, however, vacated by a Federal High
Court in Kano State which also ordered operatives of the Department of State
Services, DSS, and other security agencies to ensure Oshiomhole resumes his
duties.
But, the Court of Appeal on Monday stayed the execution
order of a High Court restraining Oshiomhole from further acting as APC
National Chairman.
Justice Abubakar Datti Yahaya led panel granted the reliefs
contained in an ex-parte motion disputed by Oshiomhole’s lawyer, Wole
Olanipekun (SAN).
However, another FCT High Court had also granted an interim,
permitting Victor Giadom, acting National Secretary of APC to act as the
party’s National Chairman.
