Ogun State chapter of the People Democratic Party (PDP) approached the Supreme Court to file a notice of appeal on Thursday, challenging the judgment of the Appeal Court which on Wednesday reversed the sack of the national secretary of the party, Prince Olagunsoye Oyinlola.

It would be recalled that Justice Abdul Kafarati of the Federal High Court sitting in Abuja had on January 11 sacked Oyinlola on ground that the congress that produced him from the South West was in disobedience to a court order.

On appeal, the sack was reversed by the Appellate Court.

Not satisfied, the respondents at the appeal court led by Adebayo Dayo and Semiu Sodipo had approached the apex court through their counsel, Ajibola Oluyede.

In their grounds of appeal, the appellant submitted that the court erred in law when it overturned and set aside the judgment of the Federal High Court in the action on the basis that the order sought to be enforced in this action, which was made in Suit No. FHC/L/CS/282/2012, was made in breach of the 1st Defendant’s right to fair hearing because he was not a party to that action in which the order was made.

The appellants also submitted that the court erred in law when it held that the current action was an abuse of process.

They also submitted that the lower court erred in law when it found that the 1st Defendant had filed an application for stay of the order (made in Suit No. FHC/L/CS/282/2013) at Court of Appeal Lagos Division when the current action to enforce the said order was filed and prosecuted.

They, however, prayed the apex court for an order reversing/setting aside the judgment and orders made by the Court of Appeal and an order reinstating the judgment of the federal High Court in this matter and all orders made therein.
