A court of appeal sitting in Abuja has restrained the All
Progressive Congress (APC) from executing the judgement of a federal capital
territory high court which ordered the suspension of Adams Oshiomhole as
national chairman of the ruling party.
On March 4, Danlami Senchi, a judge of the federal capital
territory (FCT) high court in Abuja, had ordered the suspension of Oshiomhole
pending the determination of a suit filed by one Oluwale Afolabi.
Afolabi had challenged the continuous stay of Oshiomhole in office
despite his suspension by the Edo chapter of the APC.
But on Monday, Abubakar Yahaya, chairman of the three man
panel of judges, ordered a stay of execution pending the hearing of an
application filed by Oshiomhole.
Oshiomhole in his appeal, asked the court to set aside the
suspension order.
At the resumed session, Wole Olanipekun, counsel to
Oshiomhole, prayed the court to grant a motion ex parte staying the order of
the lower court.
He said “time is of the essence” and the matter should not
be left until tomorrow because “between now and tomorrow is like eternity.”
