An Enugu State High Court has issued a ruling prohibiting Ugochukwu Agballah and nine other individuals from acting as officials of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the state.
The court order, signed by Deputy Chief Registrar J. I. Agu, was granted in response to a suit filed by several APC members including Nwafor Alphonsus Onyeachonam, Acting State Chairman, and Chief Michael Ezeanyawu, State Publicity Secretary, among others.
The injunction bars the following individuals from holding or presenting themselves as party officials: Ugochukwu Agballah (State Chairman), Chief Augustine Alumonah (Deputy Chairman), Jude Chinedu Aniogbo (Treasurer), Moses Emeka Eze (Organizing Secretary), Barrister Sunday Ugwoke, Ugwu Christian Kanayo, Eze Chidiebere Johnson, Queen Charles, Onyekachi T. Ezeagu, and Comrade Idoko Chikadibia.
The order also restricts them from conducting any party meetings, accessing the APC state party account, or using the party’s secretariat located at No. 598 Bishop Onyeabor Street, Enugu.
This legal action follows the recent suspension of Agballah and other key executives by the APC state executive council, who were accused of misusing their positions. The court’s decision aims to prevent further interference with the APC’s state operations until the case is reviewed on August 13, 2024.
