The apex court also returned Chief Victor Oye as the National Chairman of the party.<\/p>\n

In a judgment of a five-man panel of justices of the court, the appeal filed by one Jude Okeke was dismissed on the ground of being an abuse of court process.<\/p>\n

Justice Mary Peter Odili, who delivered the lead judgment, awarded a sum of N1 million to be paid by Jude Okeke to APGA and Victor Oye.<\/p>\n

Justice Odili upheld the judgment of the Court of Appeal, Kano Division, which had earlier dismissed Okeke\u2019s suit.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
