The national leader of the All Progressives Congress, APC, Bola Ahmed Tinubu, is said to have rushed back home from his trip to the United States to be part of the APC the National Executive Council meeting to decide the fate of the National chairman, Adams Oshiomhole. Oshiomhole has been under the hammer for sundry allegations, including but not limited to high handedness in the execution of his official duties.
Tinubu is returning just as the Federal Court of Appeal over ruled itself and sat by 4 pm Monday to quash the suspension order by a lower court. When the appeal court sat in the morning, they postponed the judgement indefinitely-a situation that threw panic into the rank of Oshiomhole supporters. Reports indicate that immediately the case was adjourned indefinitely, Oshiomhole was sighted at Aso Rock heading towards the office of the President. “But suddenly, he looked left and right and turned and went into Abba Kyari’s office”, a source from Aso Rock, the seat of power told this Magazine. Coincidentally, the Appeal Court, which that morning had postponed the ruling indefinitely, sent messages to lawyers of both parties that they will deliver judgement that evening by 4p.m. And they did.
