The Federal High Court sitting in Benin, has declined to grant
an order restraining Col. David Imuse (rtd) from parading himself
as chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Edo
Chapter.
In her ruling Justice A.A. Deemi-Ajayi, refused the order
pending the determination of a suit brought before it.
Deemi-Ajayi, also said all motions relating to the matter should
be presented together on Dec. 10, and thereafter a ruling could be
made.
In suit number FHC/B/CS/133/2019, the plaintiffs/Applicants;
Anselm Ojezua and two others through their counsel Ken Mozia (SAN),
prayed the court to issue an order restraining Imuse and Lawrence
Okah, from parading themselves as chairman and secretary of the
party respectively.
Mozia had argued that Ojezua remained APC chairman in the state,
while Okah had been suspended as secretary.
“That the status quo as at 10/11/2019, with regard to
chairmanship of the APC should be maintained pending the hearing
and determination of the case.
“And for such further or other orders as this honourable court
may deem it fit to make in the circumstances of this case,” Mozia
stated.
However, in a motion of preliminary objection, imuse, Okah and
others, through their lawyer Douglas Ogbankwa, argued that the
court lacked jurisdiction to hear the case.
Ogbangwa argued that; “it is a domestic affair of the APC and
therefore, the court lacks jurisdiction to entertain the
matter.
“The subject matter of this dispute purely revolves around the
suspension/removal of the 1st plaintiff as chairman of APC Edo
State.”
The court subsequently fixed Dec. 10, to hear all motions and
necessary documents on the matter and thereafter rule on them.
It would be recalled that eleven members of the 16-member State
Working Committee, had signed a removal notice on Ojezua as state
chairman of the party.
Two of the signatories later said they were forced to sign at
gun point; while a leadership meeting of the party also purportedly
removed Okah as state secretary of the APC in Edo state.
