The crisis started when the party split into the Chibuike Amaechi versus Magnus Abe factions following the latter’s interest in the 2015 and 2019 governorship elections, which Amaechi opposed.
Aguma, who was Amaechi’s close ally, had felt some injustices in the party and approached the court in December 2019 seeking inclusiveness, internal democracy, unity, progress and peace in the party.
In the suit marked: PHC/4355/2019, Aguma sued the Chairman, APC Caretaker Committee, Isaac Ogbobula, the party and its National Chairman, Adams Oshiomhole for failing to adhere to the party’s rules. He also ruled that the suit was not an abuse of court process, because Aguma only requested that the APC rules should be followed, noting that the claimant, being a former House of Representatives member, met the requirements of a statutory member of the state APC.
