Yesterday, a Federal High Court Presided over by Justice Adeniyi Ademola handed down a ruling in which he restrained 37 APC members who joined our great party on December 18, 2013 from effecting the change of Leadership in the House of Representatives thereby granting the prayers of the Plaintiffs – the PDP in the suit.
For us in the APC, we were not surprised because in the course of the proceedings the same judge had earlier issued a preservative order as soon as the arguments against his jurisdiction in the case was taken. This was our first apprehension of the commencement of the case.
Our fears were further confirmed when the judge after granting the reliefs sought in the suit went ahead to render an opinion on issues that were not before him nor solicited by the plaintiffs.
