The Benue State APC caretaker committee has rejected the High Court judgement that nullified their appointment.
The committee described the judgement as “appalling” and “legally unjustified”.
According to Chief Dr. Benjamin Omale, Unity Chairman of the APC Caretaker Committee, the committee will appeal the judgement.
Omale called on party members to remain calm and law-abiding, assuring them that the status quo remains until the Superior Courts speak.
The High Court judgement followed a suit initiated by Comrade Austin Agada, challenging the dissolution of the State Working Committee.
Justice T. A. Kume ruled that the dissolution was not in accordance with the party’s constitution.
The court also held that the National Working Committee’s action amounted to a gross violation of the applicants’ right to fair hearing.
The APC caretaker committee has instructed its legal team to seek a stay of execution on the judgement.
The committee is optimistic that the Court of Appeal will ensure justice is served.
