A Federal High Court sitting in Jabi, Abuja has struck out suit to dismiss Adams Oshiomhole as National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress APC.

In an ex-Parte Application filed by the National Vice Chairman, North East of the All Progressives Congress Apc, Comrade Mustapha Salihu, a factional Chairman of the APC in Edo state, Anselm Ojezua and others, they prayed the court to sack Adams Oshiomhole as National Chairman of the party.

Lukman, had told Oshiomhole to convene a National Executive Council (NEC) meeting of the party or resign without further ado.

This was as a result of multiple internal crisis rocking the party in states across the country.

But the court ruling on the case frustrated the move to oust Oshiomhole, as it refused to grant the Ex-Parte motion filed by Salihu, Ojezua and others

Counsel to Oshiomhole and APC, Damian D. Dodo (SAN), noted that they had not been served and drew the Court’s attention to the Memorandum of Appearance and Undertaking to Accept Service of processes on behalf of the 1st & 2nd Defendants.

Responding, the Presiding Judge, Justice Danlami Senchi stopped the move and ordered that the Defendants be put on notice to ensure a fair hearing in the matter.

Justice Senchi ruled that it will hear all parties instead of granting the ex-parte application to remove Oshiomhole as the National Chairman of the APC as requested by the Plaintiffs.
