The battle for the control of the Delta State chapter of the All Progressives Congress has moved to the Supreme Court.
The Court of Appeal had in a judgment delivered by Justices Jimi Olukayode Bada, Chidi Nwaoma Uwa and Muhammed Shuaibu on May 19 set aside the judgment of the Federal High Court, Asaba Division, which had upheld the Ogodo-led Executive Committee as the authentic leadership of the party in Delta State.
The court in its judgement similarly upheld the full template of the Ogodo faction’s candidates, including Pat Utomi, O’tega Emerhor and Ima Niboro as the party’s authentic candidates in the just concluded elections. In the unanimous judgment delivered on March 17 and read by Justice Chidi Nwaoma Uwa, the court held that the lower court lacked jurisdiction to entertain the suit as it bordered on an intra-party matter.
The appellants also contended that the justices of the Court of Appeal misdirected themselves in law in their consideration of the cause of action of the appellants when they held in pages 17-18 of the judgment in part thus, “It is clear that the crux of the suit at the lower court is the status of the Executive of 4th respondent at the State, Later cal Government and Wards levels in Delta State.
The appellants further contended that the lower court by limiting its consideration to reliefs 1-6 of the statement of claim amounted to a denial of fair hearing.
