The Supreme Court’s affirmation of Sly Ezeokenwa as the National Chairman of the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA) marks a pivotal resolution to the party’s leadership tussle. This decision, hailed by APGA as a demonstration of the judiciary’s dedication to justice and the rule of law, effectively closes debates surrounding the leadership structure of the party.
Key highlights from the judgment include:
- Affirmation of Sly Ezeokenwa’s Leadership: The Supreme Court confirmed Ezeokenwa as the National Chairman, ruling out any claim of leadership by Edozie Njoku. It clarified that its earlier judgments were misinterpreted by Njoku’s camp.
- Condemnation of Abuse of Court Processes: The Court criticized the actions of Njoku and his proxies, declaring their legal maneuvers as abuses of the judicial process.
- Overturning Lower Court Rulings: The Supreme Court nullified previous decisions from the High Court and the Court of Appeal that had ruled against APGA’s leadership structure and its officials.
- Financial Penalty: Costs totaling ₦60 million were awarded against Edozie Njoku across three appeals.
The party expressed its gratitude to the judiciary and key leaders, including its National Leader, Governor Chukwuma Soludo, for their support in navigating this challenging period. This ruling strengthens APGA’s leadership foundation as it continues to pursue its political goals under Ezeokenwa’s chairmanship.
