There seems to be no end to the game of musical chairs in the All Progressives Congress (APC) as the Court of Appeal today in Abuja upheld the suspension of Adams Oshiomhole as the national chairman of the crisis-ridden ruling party.
In a judgment delivered on Tuesday evening, a three-man panel of the court dismissed Oshiomhole’s appeal against an earlier judgment of a High Court of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT).
The appellate court held that Oshiomhole’s appeal was without merit.
The FCT High Court had, in its judgment in March, held among others that Oshiomhole could no longer function as the APC National Chairman having been suspended by his local branch, a suspension he failed to challenge before the party’s National Working Committee (NWC) suspended him.
Oshiomhole who has been locked in a deadly battle of supremacy with the governor of Edo State, Godwin Obaseki, succeeded in denying him a chance to participate in the June 22 APC governorship primaries.
Obaseki has since quit the party.
