Dr Victor Oye, National Chairman of the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA) has dismissed the rumour about his sack as calculated efforts of desperadoes to mislead the public and cause confusion in the party.
Oye in a Statement made available to the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in Awka said he remained the authentic and undisputed National Chairman of APGA.
Oye, who was reacting to the news circulated in the media that he was sacked by the Supreme Court on May 9 and replaced by Chief Edozie Njoku said it was figment of the purveyors’ imagination as the SC neither sat nor sacked him.
He said the last time the Supreme Court sat on the matter was on Oct. 14, 2021 when it affirmed him as the chairman.
According to Oye, the Supreme Court never sat, let alone sacked me as chairman; attached are the original cover and last two pages of the judgment delivered by the SC on Oct.14, 2021 in which it affirmed me as the National Chairman of APGA.
“The copy in circulation by some desperadoes was doctored and the name of Edozie Njoku inserted to hoodwink the public.
“The application for joinder by Edozie Njoku and others was thrown out by the Supreme Court and a cost of N1 million was awarded to myself and APGA, the cost is yet to be paid.
“The truth of the matter is that the so-called Edozie Njoku was never a party to the suit in question.
“He should therefore be discountenanced and the story dismissed in its entirety as fake.
“It should also be noted that the Supreme Court did not sit on the case in question any time this week or any other time after it delivered the landmark judgment of Oct. 14, 2021 that put to permanent rest the nagging issue of APGA leadership,” he stated.
Oye warned those bent on causing confusion to exercise restraint and stop toying with the judiciary institution while calling on the relevant authority to invoke the law against fake news on those persons and groups. (NAN)
