SAN FRANCISCO, August 16, (THEWILL) – The Court of Appeal siting in Enugu state, has upturned the judgement of an Enugu State High Court that sacked Victor Oye as the National Chairman of the All Progressive Grand Alliance (APGA).
THEWILL recalls that Justice A.R Ozoemena had ordered the removal of Oye and replaced him with Chief Martin Agbaso also ordering the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to stop further dealings with Oye.
The action followed a suit by the Secretary of the party in Enugu State, Comrade Mike Alioke, who challenged the continued occupation of Oye in office after the National Working Committee (NWC) of the party affirmed his suspension on October 5, last year.
However, the presiding Judge of the appeal brought against the judgment of the State High court, Justice Abdul Aboki, delivering judgement on Wednesday, quashed the judgment of the lower court.
The judge declared that the Appeal succeeded in its merit and reinstalled Oye as the authentic Chairman of the party.
