An Edo All Progressives Congress member, Hon. Sunday Aghedo has been removed from his position by an Appeal Court.
The Court of Appeal sitting in Benin City has sacked the lawmaker
representing Ovia South West Constituency in the Edo State House of
Assembly, Hon. Sunday Aghedo.
The court gave an order that Mr. Godwin Adenomo, a member of the
All Progressive Congress, be sworn in immediately. This came about after
Adenomo dragged the APC and the Committee that conducted the party
primaries to court over imposition of the sacked lawmaker as the winner
of the party primaries to the State House of Assembly in 2014.
He claimed he won the primaries but was denied the party’s ticket which was given to his opponent.
A judgement of the High Court asked the APC to conduct a fresh
primary for the position but Adenomo rejected the ruling and headed for
the appellate court to get proper judgment.
Reacting to the judgment, the sacked lawmakers said he was already consulting with his lawyers. His words, “I have no reaction. I am still consulting with my lawyers on what to do next.”
