Published

on

The presidential candidate of the African Action Congress in the 2019 general election, Omoyele Sowore has been affirmed as the National Chairman of the party by a Court of Appeal in Abuja.

The court in its ruling on Thursday noted that a 2019 judgement by the High Court which sacked Sowore as the chairman of AAC was out of the court’s jurisdiction, adding that it was an internal affair.

Justice Iyang Ekwo in a judgement in 2019 had ruled that it was satisfied that Sowore had been suspended by the National Executive Committee of the party.

The Appeal Court, however, nullified the judgement on Thursday and declared Sowore as the national chairman as against one Leonard Nzenwa.

The court subsequently awarded a sum of N200,000 to the applicants.
