An Abuja High Court 14 presided over by His
Lordship, Hon. Justice A. O. Musa on Tuesday, September 4, 2018 has granted an
Order of Perpetual Injunction restraining the All Progressives Congress (APC)
and the National Chairman, His Excellency (Comrade) Adams Oshiomhole (1st and
2nd Defendants) from ‘tampering with the mandates of the elected
Officials/Delegates elected at the 1st Defendant’s Ward, Local Government
and State Congresses in Rivers State on May 19, 20 and 21, 2018 respectively,
either by nullifying, removing or in any way refusing to give effect to the
outcome of the said congresses or by purporting to conduct another congress in
respect of Rivers State.”
According to a statement by Rivers State APC
spokesman Warisenibo Chris Finebone on Wednesday, he said that the Court also
affirmed the validity of the congresses which took place May 19, 20 and 21 and
subsequently culminated in the election of Hon. Ojukaye Flag-Amachree State
Executive Committee with such congresses having been conducted in compliance
with the constitution of the APC (1stDefendant). It therefore ordered that both
1st and 2nd Defendants (APC and its National Chairman) are bound to
give effect to the outcome of the said congresses.
It would be recalled that following the controversy
generated by the May 2018 Ward, Local Government and State Congresses of the
APC in Rivers State, the State Chairman of the Party, Hon. Ojukaye
Flag-Amachree and his Exco approached the Abuja High Court in Suit No.
FCT/HC/BW/CV/115/2018 seeking injunction against the APC, Its National
Chairman, NWC/NEC from tampering with the Rivers State Exco of the Party until
all pending matters regarding the congresses are resolved.
