The Court of Appeal, sitting in Abuja, on Friday, failed to hear the appeal filed by the national chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Adams Oshiomhole against an earlier High Court decision against him.
Oshiomhole’s appeal is against the March 4, 2020, interlocutory ruling by Justice Danlami Senchi of the High Court of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), in Jabi, same Abuja, suspending him (Oshiomhole) from office.
On March 10 this year, the Court of Appeal, in Abuja, heard an ex-parte motion argued for Oshiomhole by Wole Olanipekun (SAN), and ordered a stay of the execution of the ruling by Justice Senchi, pending the determination of the appeal by the APC chairman.
