Counsel representing the former National Chairman had earlier informed the court of his client’s decision to withdraw the suit, which originally sought a stay of execution on the judgment of the court affirming his suspension.

A three-man panel of the Court of Appeal had on June 16, 2020 affirmed the suspension of Oshiomhole as National Chairman of the APC.

Justice Mohammed Lamido, who delivered the lead verdict, dismissed the appeal and affirmed the decision of an Abuja High Court in March 2020 that earlier validated Oshiomhole’s suspension by his ward in Edo State.
