After the morning drama that led to announcement of indefinite postponement of hearing of the appeal, the Abuja Division of the Court of Appeal in the evening after hearing the case, ordered the stay of execution of the Abuja High Court ruling that suspended Adams Oshiomhole as the National Chairman of the All Progressive Congress, APC.

The appellate court, in a ruling by a three-man panel of Justices led by Justice Yahaya Dattijo, also issued an interlocutory injunction restraining the Respondents from taking steps to give effect to the high court ruling, pending the determination of appeals Oshiomhole filed before it.

It subsequently fixed Thursday to hear the two appeals marked CA/A/187/2020 and CA/A/188/2020.

The order of the appellate court followed an ex-parte application Oshiomhole filed through his team of lawyers led by Chief Wole Olanipekun, SAN.
