APC Crisis Heightens as Court Voids APC Congress in Anambra

The crisis rocking Anambra State All Progressives Congress has degenerated as the State High Court sitting in Awka on Wednesday voided the party congresses that held last month.

About 17 former chairmen of Anambra state APC led by Lawrence Emegini had approached the court seeking a declaration that their tenures as local government chairmen of the party still subsist.

In a suit, the former Caretaker Chairmen and Ward Representatives challenged the validity of the party’s congress in January when their tenure had not ended.

In a judgment delivered on Wednesday, Justice Ike Ogu of the State High Court Four, Awka, ruled that the APC congresses contravened the initial Interlocutory Injunction given by his court.

The court ruled that the tenure of wards, local government areas and states executives elected during 2018 congresses in Anambra state have not expired.
