The Court of Appeal sitting in Benin City has struck out a judgement of the Asaba High court, which, in March, sacked the All Progressives Congress (APC) exco in the state.<\/p>\n

The appellate court held that the High Court in Asaba lacked the jurisdiction to entertain the matter and also that the initial suit was filed outside the 14-day period allowed by law.<\/p>\n

With the judgment, Prophet Jones Ode Erue remains the authentic Chairman of the party in the state.<\/p>\n

The court also nullified the minority judgement which earlier proclaimed Chief Cyril Ogodo as chairman of the party and nullified nominations of candidates produced by the Erue-led State executive committee of the party which include the 2015 governorship candidate of the APC, in the state, O\u2019tega Emerhor.<\/p>\n
