A State High Court in Port Harcourt has restrained Tony Okocha and other members of the caretaker committee of the APC, appointed by the party’s National Working Committee, from presenting themselves as the committee’s chairman and members in Rivers State.
The Court also restrained them from taking any action or interfering in the affairs of the APC State Executive led by Emeka Beke until the expiration of their four-year tenure.
The presiding Judge, Justice Sika Aprioku, in his judgement, held that the appointment of Tony Okocha and six others as State APC Chairman and Caretaker Committee members is in disobedience of the party constitution. He said there was no situation in the party to warrant their dissolution. The judge also awarded a N300,000 cost against the defendants.
