The leadership of the All Progressives Congress (APC) has dismissed the court ruling reversing Comrade Adams Oshiomhole's suspension as the party's national chairman.

Justice Lewis Allagoa of the Federal High Court, Kano state on Thursday, March 5, reversed Oshiomhole's suspension a day after the former Edo state governor was suspended by a Federal High Court in Abuja.

The national vice chairman northeast of the APC, Salihu Mustapha, has declared that only the Court of Appeal could reinstate Oshiomhole as the party’s leader.

Speaking to journalists at the national secretariat of the party in Abuja, Mustapha said two courts of coordinate jurisdiction cannot seat on appeal of the same Federal High Court.

Some Nigerians on social media have been reacting to Oshiomhole's travails.

Mike Ukachi wrote: Oshiomhole is now very sober and talking calmly since his sack, first time of hearing God from his mouth, life can really humble anyone.

Deon Onye wrote: Does the Nigerian court have a system it operates? Oshiomhole is Edo, Abuja court ruled against him and Kano court ruled in his favour. All, federal courts. I don’t think Nigeria is worth thinking of.

Enzo Zee wrote: The handwriting is written all over. Oshiomole has lost it. All he should be doing now is to drop his pride and make peace else he will continue to receive more disgraced.

Iyen Noman wrote: Oshio’mhole is our illustrious son, his achievements hardly can be wished away but he must realize that he needs home support to prosper in his journey of life.

Hakeem Aleshinloye wrote: Very soon they'll send senator with 3 story cap to convince Buhari on Oshiomole, I don't even know the kind of jazz that Ogun state man dey use for Buhari... But this time around they will fall yakata for ground.

Thomas Kajo wrote: Oshiomhole danced on the stage in rallies for President Buhari. He danced on the stage for Obaseki to become governor of Edo. These two have pushed him off the stage to go and dance at home alone. Kaiii, life is a story.

Edward Israel-Ayide wrote: What Obaseki is doing is what Ambode should have done if he had more balls and was strategic. Instead, he was huffing and puffing on TV with his waist trainer.

Olufemi Ilori wrote: Two people are fighting a battle of their lives right now, 1 is Adam Oshiomhole 2 is the Emir Sanusi Lamido Sanusi of Kano. The forces that want them out seems to be growing day by day.
