The suspension of the National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Adams Oshiomhole by a federal high court in Abuja has generated several reactions on twitter.
We reported earlier that Justice Danlami Senchi, who gave the ruling on an application for an interlocutory injunction earlier today held that Oshiomhole should cease to occupy the position pending the determination of the substantive suit.
Justice Senchi was of the view that the APC was wrong for retaining Oshiomhole as its National Chairman even when he is under suspension as a member of the party.
The judge ordered Oshiomhole to stop parading himself as the National Chairman of the party and directed the party to cease acknowledging him in that regard.
Justice Senchi restrained the party from allowing Oshiomhole to access the party secretariat henceforth
Meanwhile, the new development has generated several mixed reactions on twitter as some people felt the verdict was unfair and the court as no power to give such a verdict.
Here are the reactions below;
Court suspends Oshiomhole as APC chairman

I'm beginning to think the Courts are assuming the powers they don't have. Judges will soon start arrogating to themselves the powers to appoint party chairs. The powers to discipline party officers are internal displinary mechanisms!— El Commandante® (@MrLekanAdigun) March 4, 2020
What is business of court in party chairman, this dirty dirty politics has been beyond border

Even if someone brings a case before them, if they don't have powers over such they should say it
