17 out of the 27 members of the executives of the All Progressives Congress, APC, in Ward 10, Etsako West Local Government Area of Edo State have lifted the suspension on Comrade Adams Oshiomhole.
Emuakemeh Sule, Secretary of the ward, disclosed this to journalists in Abuja on Saturday.
Oshiomhole was suspended by the party in November following his protracted disagreement with Governor Godwin Obaseki.
It was on this basis a high court in the Federal Capital Territory ordered his suspension as the party’ National Chairman.
Newsflash247 had reported on Tuesday, June 16, that the Court of Appeal in Abuja had upheld the suspension of Adams Oshiomhole as the National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC).
An FCT High Court had on March 4 granted an application by six members of the APC in Edo State suspending Oshiomhole from office.
A three-member panel of justices led by the President of the Court of Appeal, Justice Monica Dongban-Mensem held that Oshiomhole’s appeal challenging his suspension was unmeritorious.
In a judgment delivered by Justice Mohammed Lamido, on Tuesday, the three-man panel dismissed Oshiomhole’s appeal for lacking in merit.
Governor Obaseki before defeated to the Peoples Democratic Party,PDP, and his predecessor, Oshiomhole have been at loggerheads over the governor’s second term bid and other issues.
The feud between Obaseki and Oshiomhole has polarised the party in Edo State.
Obaseki asked Oshiomhole to recuse himself from the nomination processes of the primary but the party did not act on his request.
The faction loyal to Oshiomhole endorsed Pastor Osagie Ize-Iyamu as its consensus candidate for the June 22 governorship primary election of the party.
