A recent Court of Appeal ruling has breathed new life into the leadership tussle within the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA), granting leave to Chief Victor Ike Oye, Barrister Sly Ezeokenwa, and the party to appeal a previous judgment.
The court’s unanimous decision has significant implications, potentially paving the way for the Supreme Court to clarify its earlier judgments and resolve the protracted crisis.
The APGA leadership crisis began with a dispute over the party’s national chairmanship, with Edozie Njoku and Sly Ezeokafor emerging as rival claimants.
The issue has since escalated, with multiple court cases and conflicting judgments.
In its ruling, the Court of Appeal noted that the initial appeal lacked representation from Ezeokenwa-led APGA
The court found merit in the applications for leave to appeal, filed by Oye, Ezeokenwa, and APGA.
