Appeal Court Sacks APC Lawmaker
The Court of Appeal
sitting in Benin City has sacked the lawmaker representing Ovia South
West Constituency in the Edo State House of Assembly, Hon. Sunday
Aghedo.
Reacting to the judgment, the sacked lawmakers said he was already consulting with his lawyers.
His words, “I have no reaction. I am still consulting with my lawyers on what to do next.”
It ordered Mr. Godwin Adenomo, a member of the All Progressive Congress, to be sworn in immediately.
Adenomo
had dragged the APC and the Committee that conducted the party
primaries to court over imposition of the sacked lawmaker as the winner
of the party primaries to the State House of Assembly in 2014.
He claimed he won the primaries but was denied the party’s ticket which was given to his opponent.
A
judgement of the High Court asked the APC to conduct a fresh primary
for the position but Adenomo rejected the ruling and headed for the
appellate court to get proper judgment.
His words, “I have no reaction. I am still consulting with my lawyers on what to do next.”
