Chekwas Okorie, founder of the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA), has condemned a recent court judgment that recognized Sylvester Ezeonwuka as the party's national chairman, arguing it contradicts earlier Supreme Court rulings and oversteps judicial boundaries.
Chekwas Okorie , founder of the All Progressives Grand Alliance , has faulted a court judgment recognising Sylvester Ezeonwuka as the national chairman of the party.
In reviewing the 2021 judgment, the court expunged the part where Oye’s name was written as the national chairman of the party. Speaking to journalists on Tuesday, Okorie argued that the judgment directly contradicts the supreme court’s earlier pronouncements on the matter. Okorie pointed to a case in which two members of the party’s national working committee sought enforcement of the supreme court’s ruling, which they argued had been ignored by the Oye faction.He said despite a court order preventing APGA from holding congresses or conventions pending the resolution of the dispute, Oye’s faction went ahead with a convention in Awka, Anambra state, in which Ezeonwuka was reportedly elected as national chairman.
