The aggrieved members of the All Progressives Congress, APC, have revealed why they dragged Adams Oshiomhole to court.
Oshiomhole was told to step aside from his position as APC national chairman by a Federal High Court in Abuja on Wednesday.
This was after he was suspended by the Edo State chapter of the APC.
One of the applicants in the suit against Oshiomhole, Oluwale Afolabi, stated that he was dragged to court to prevent him from staying in office after his suspension.
According to Afolabi: “Well, we came with the order because we believe in the rule of law, that is simply the reason why we are here to make sure that the constitution is respected.
“Our contention is very simple; that Oshiomhole was suspended by his ward and if you are a suspended member, you can’t rip the benefit of full membership.
“So all we are saying is that his rights as a member of APC is in abatement to the very minimum. So we just wanted the court to give voice to what people at his local ward have said.”
