Meanwhile, Legit.ng reported that the suspension of Adams Oshiomhole as the national chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC) had been upheld by the Court of Appeal in Abuja.
In a judgment by the president of the court, Justice Monica Dongban-Mensem, the judicial body ruled that Oshiomhole’s appeal that challenged his suspension lacked merit.
Earlier, Legit.ng reported that the die on the issue of Oshiomhole's struggle to retain his seat as the national chairman of the APC would soon be cast.
This was as the Court of Appeal in Abuja prepared to deliver its verdict over the application filed by Oshiomhole who is aiming to thwart moves towards his suspension by the Edo chapter of the APC.
The case, presided over by a three-man panel, which has listened to prayers from the concerned parties was led by Eunice Onyemenam.
