Adams Oshiomhole, National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress, APC, was suspended by a Federal Capital Territory, FCT, High Court.<\/p>\n

The Justices Danlami Senchi-led court had held Oshiomhole should step down pending the determination of a suit seeking his removal as APC National Chairman.<\/p>\n

Justice Senchi gave the order in a ruling on an application of interlocutory injunction following his suspension as a member of the APC from Etsako ward 10 in Edo State.<\/p>\n

However, one of the applicants, Oluwale Afolabi explained why some aggrieved members of APC want him out of office.<\/p>\n

Addressing journalists in Abuja, Afolabi said Oshiomhole was dragged to court because he can\u2019t remain in office after he was suspended from his ward.<\/p>\n

According to Afolabi: \u201cWell, we came with the order because we believe in the rule of law, that is simply the reason why we are here to make sure that the constitution is respected.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur contention is very simple; that Oshiomhole was suspended by his ward and if you are a suspended member, you can\u2019t rip the benefit of full membership.<\/p>\n

\u201cSo all we are saying is that his rights as a member of APC is in abatement to the very minimum. So we just wanted the court to give voice to what people at his local ward have said.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
