Suspended national chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Comrade Adams Oshiomhole, has said that he has accepted the decision of the Court of Appeal in good faith.
He was speaking on Channels Television’s ‘Politics Today’ programme, this evening.
He said, “We thank their Lordship for their decision, they have delivered their judgement and I accept it in good faith. I am a product of judgement too, even from my active days of struggle and as a governor. My lawyers will advice me on the next line of action,” he said.
On whether his lawyers will appeal the ruling at the Supreme Court, he said it is a relationship between him and his lawyers and not for television consumption.”However, as at 7pm yesterday (Tuesday) , I was still the chairman of the party. The Governor of Edo State had resigned his membership which has been accepted.”
It would be recalled that the Court of Appeal sitting in Abuja on Tuesday affirmed the suspension of Comrade Adams Oshiomole as a member and National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC).
Ruling on the interlocutory appeal filed by Comrade Oshiomhole, the appellate court upheld the decision of the Federal Capital Territory High Court delivered by Justice Danlami Senchi which in March ordered the suspension of Oshiomhole as well as restraining him from parading himself as the National Chairman of the party.
In a unanimous judgement in the first appeal delivered by Justice Eunice Onyemanam, the court held that the FCT High Court had territorial jurisdiction to have entertained the suit as it did.
