Delta Court Didn’t Stop Buni As APC Chairman

The Delta State High Court in Asaba did not restrain Yobe State Governor Mai Mala Buni and others from parading themselves as the All Progressives Congress (APC) Caretaker/Extraordinary Convention Planning Committee (CECPC) members.

Recall that Chrysora Media reported on Thursday that the court restrained Buni and the CECPC members from conducting the local government and state congresses slated for tomorrow in Delta.

APC State Deputy Chairman Elvis Ayomanor and other officials are challenging the outcome of the ward congress in the state.

In an ex-parte application, they prayed for, among others: “An order of interim injunction of this court restraining the second to 14th defendants/respondents from further acting or parading themselves as the members of the CECPC of the first defendant (APC) pending the hearing and determination of the motion on notice already filed and served in the suit.

“Alternatively, an order of interim injunction of this court restraining the second to 14th defendants/respondents from conducting the local government and state congresses slated for September 4, 2021, or any other date, and other congresses of the first defendant in Delta State, pending the hearing and determination of the Motion on Notice already filed and served.”

Rather than granting the reliefs as prayed, Justice Onome Marshal-Umukoro ruled: “Reliefs 1, 2, 3 and 4 have to do with issues of services of processes on all the parties in this suit. Reliefs 5, 6 and 7 are injunctive reliefs being sought in the interim…

“Reliefs 1, 2, 3, 4 and alternative prayer 5 of the motion ex-parte are hereby granted. Alternative Prayer 5 is granted only in relation to the 15th defendant…”

The alternative prayer five is for the court to restrain the second to 14th defendants/respondents from further acting or parading themselves as CECPC members.

The 15th defendant in the suit is Jones Ode Erue, who was sued in his capacity as caretaker chairman of the APC in Delta.

He was not captured in the plaintiffs/applicants reliefs, which covered the second to 14th defendants.
