Abia State High court sitting in Aba, Friday  dismissed the preliminary objection to Hon. Acho Obioma as the Abia state Chairman of the All Progressive Congress (APC), by Chief Ikechi Emenike led faction.

Though the Court held that the issue of power tussle in Abia State APC is the family concerns of the APC, it however noted that rules of the APC has been flouted and the Court cannot fold its hand in the face of flagrant abuse of the orders of the Court.

Counsel to Obioma, Etigwe Uwa SAN, giving his submission, noted that “in the face of such abuse already confirmed by the Counsel to  Emenike faction of the APC, Mr  V. C. Nwankwo  and ascertained by the Court, the only option available to the court is to set aside  all actions already undertaken by  Emenike faction including the substitution of late Enyinna Harbour as State chairman

The Court  adjourned the matter  to Wednesday,  February 23, 2022 for hearing on the Motion on Notice.
