Adams Oshiomhole was on Wednesday, March 4, suspended as the national chairman of the All Progressives Congress, by a Federal Capital Territory High Court in Jabi. Justice Danlami Senchi, presiding over the matter ordered Oshiomhole to step down pending the determination of the substantive suit seeking his removal as the APC chairman. Oshiomhole’s suspension is coming after the Edo state chapter of the ruling party suspended him as a member of the APC in the state.
Oluwale Afolabi in his application dated and filed on Thursday, January 16, named Oshiomhole as the first respondent, while the APC is the second respondent. Afolabi went on to note that Oshiomhole who is currently suspended by the party has not challenged the suspension and cannot continue to function as the party’s chairman, Premium Times reports.

Legit.ng previously reported that two southwest governors were fingered in series of protests to remove Oshiomhole as the national chairman of the APC.
The governors were said to have sponsored a phony survey that would establish false information accusing the Oshiomhole as the primary cause of the ongoing crisis in Edo state.
A former speaker of the state House of Assembly, Thomas Okosun and former spokesman to Governor Godwin Obaseki, John Maiyaki, in a statement in Abuja said that the two southwest governors were working with Governor Obaseki on the plot targeted at gathering alleged false information that would be used to plot the removal of Oshiomhole as the party’s national chairman.
In a related development, the Edo State chapter of the party has revealed why Oshiomhole should step down after the members of National Working Committee (NWC) of the APC reportedly walked out on the national chairman of the party.
