A Federal High Court sitting in Abuja, Nigeria, has on Friday, validated the suspension of Omoyele Sowore as the National Chairman of the African Action Congress (AAC).
In delivering his judgement, Justice Iyang Ekwo, said he was satisfied that Sowore who was the presidential flag-bearer of the AAC, was validly suspended by the National Executive Committee (NEC) of the party.
The judge ruled that there was nothing to contradict affidavit evidence that showed that NEC of the party had in a resolution it passed on March 27, handed six months suspension to both Sowore and his Deputy, Malcolm Fabiyi.
According to the court, neither Sowore nor Fabiyi, defended the suit that applied for an order to stop them from further parading themselves as the National Chairman and Deputy National Chairman of the party.
