The Federal Capital Territory (FCT) High Court has given an order restraining Comrade Adams Oshomole from parading himself as the National Chairman of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC).
In his ruling Hon. Justice Senchi Z. Danlami gave an order of interlocutory injunction restraining Oshiomhole in that capacity, pending the hearing and determination of the substance suit.
By this ruling, the former labor leader and ex-Governor of Edo State, ceases to be the chairman, pending the outcome of various legal battles.
Oshomole has been in the eye of the storm lately, as he was recently suspended by his party at his Ward, Local Government and State levels.
It was on this premise that the injunction application was grounded.
Allegations that triggered his suspension include; alleged Highhandedness, Misappropriation of funds and Disregard for the rule of law.
The APC has in recent times been going through a lot of turmoil. After surviving major judicial upsets in Zamfara and Rivers State during the buildup to the last elections, which totally knocked them of the ballot; the APC has been battling with internal unity, especially in its National Working Committee (NWC).
It was alleged that Oshiomhole single-handedly appointed a National Secretary for the party without any constitutional backing.
This did not go down well with many members of the NWC and has caused a visible crack in the NWC.
Allegations of misappropriation of fund are also strong, as party members are asking for details on how the over N15 billion raised during the 2019 elections were expended.
