Adams Oshiomhole has filed an application for a stay of execution and appealed the verdict of the court suspending him from office as the national chairman of the All Progressives Congress, APC.
Oshiomhole’s spokesman, Simon Egbegbule, made this known on Wednesday.
“We have filed for a stay of execution and appealed the ruling.
“With those processes currently before the Appeal Court, Comrade Adams Oshiomhole remains the national chairman of the party,” he said.
A Federal Capital Territory, FCT, High Court ordered the suspension of Oshiomhole as the national chairman of the party on Wednesday.
The suspension is to remain pending the determination of a substantive suit.
The suspension order was given by Justice Danlami Senchi following an application to that effect by one Oluwale Afolabi.
Afolabi in his application argued that Oshiomhole had no claim to the chairmanship of the party since he had been suspended as a member of the party at the state level.
Oshiomhole, it would be recalled, was suspended by the party’s state chapter, a development which ignited the fire of crisis in the party.
Announcing his suspension, the court declared that Oshiomhole should stop carrying on as the chairman of the APC.
It also directed that Oshiomhole should not be allowed access to the secretariat of the party.
