The Supreme Court of Nigeria has upheld the leadership of Sylvester (Sly) Ezeokenwa as the National Chairman of the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA).
The decision comes shortly after the Federal High Court in Abuja restrained Njoku from presenting himself as the party’s chairman.
Justice James Omotosho ruled that there was no valid court order, including any from the Supreme Court, recognizing Njoku’s leadership.
The leadership tussle in APGA has been a long-standing issue. Njoku’s faction had earlier been listed on the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) website, replacing Ezeokenwa and his executive officers.
APGA and Ezeokenwa filed a suit challenging this decision, arguing that Njoku’s claim lacked legal backing.
The Supreme Court’s decision resolves a major controversy within APGA, restoring stability to the party’s leadership.
The apex court also directed INEC to restore the names of Ezeokenwa and his team as the rightful national executive officers of APGA.
