The Supreme Court, on Friday, re-affirmed Chief Edozie Njoku as the National Chairman of the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA).
The declaration followed a ruling in an application filed by Njoku, seeking the regularisation of the amended judgment of Justice Mary Peter Odili, delivered on May 9, 2022.
In a letter dated January 19, 2023, the apex court had addressed Njoku as the National Chairman of APGA and advised him to approach it by way of a motion to correct the slip.
The accidental slip, which the Supreme Court corrected, has restored Njoku as the actual National Chairman of APGA, which was wrongfully removed by a Jigawa High Court in Suit No: JDU/022/2021 between Alhaji Garba Aliyu and Chief Jude Okeke & 2 Ors.
In a lead judgment, Justice Garba Lawal held that it was Chief Edozie Njoku, that was wrongly removed at Jigawa without being joined as a party.
Subsequently, Justice Lawal stated that Njoku’s application was meritorious and consequently granted it as prayed.
Reacting to the judgement, Chief Njoku appealed to the Governor of Anambra State, Charles Soludo, to make himself available for a roundtable discussion on the way forward for the party.
As APGA Chairman, Njoku said he would do everything humanly possible to bring stability and peace to the party.
