Court affirms Oye as authentic APGA national chairman

The Federal High Court, Abuja, yesterday, affirmed Victor Oye as legitimate National Chairman of the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA).In a surprise ruling, the court sacked Edozie Njoku, who is the beneficiary of a recent Supreme Court ruling, affirming him as Chairman.

Justice James Omotoso, in his judgment, held that by judgments of the Federal High Court, Court of Appeal and, later, Supreme Court, it was clear that Oye is the legitimate National Chairman of the party.

Justice Omotoso held that Njoku was a meddlesome interloper in the suit seeking to reap where he did not sow. The court condemned the action of a legal practitioner, C.N Nwagwu, for deliberately misleading the court, and for causing unnecessary confusion that wasted the court’s time.

Justice Omotoso said that Nwagwu failed to act as minister in the temple of justice, adding that his conduct was unbecoming of a lawyer of his status.
