HOW OCHOUDO MARTIN AGBASO EMERGED ACTING NATIONAL CHAIRMAN OF APGA

Those who out of desperation, mischief, jealousy, "Pull Him Down syndrome" or outright stupidity chose to misrepresent the facts can continue in their folly

But for the sake of those who do not understand how it all happened and those who are ignorantly mislead I have decided to reproduce this here.
-------------------------------------------------------------------

HOW OCHOUDO MARTIN AGBASO EMERGED ACTING NATIONAL CHAIRMAN OF APGA

1. On October 5, 2016,at an NWC meeting at the instance of the then Chairman Chief Victor Oye at the National Secretariat in Abuja, the National Working Committee (NWC) of the APGA took certain decisions against the leadership of the party. The NWC of APGA indicted and suspended the Ozo Victor Ike Oye, the national chairman as well as Alhaji Abubakar Adamu, the deputy national chairman, (North) and Chief Uche Okogbuo, the national deputy chairman (South) respectively, on many grounds and instances of breaches and infractions of the party constitution.

2.After the indictment and the suspension of the above mentioned officials of the party, the NWC appointed Ozo Nwabueze Okafor as the acting National Chairman of the party.

3. Ozo Victor Oye did not accept the NWC decisions in good faith as he was said to have continued to parade himself as the national chairman of the party.

4. The development led to the filing of a suit before Justice Yusuf Baba of Abuja High Court asking the court to issue an order ordering Oye to stop parading himself as the national chairman as he had been duly suspended by the NWC;

5. But Oye challenged the jurisdiction of the court to hear the case, saying that the court lacked the power to entertain the suit.

6. In his ruling over the matter, Justice Baba held that he had the jurisdiction to hear the case and dismissed Oye’s preliminary objection.

7. Dissatisfied, Oye filed an appeal against the ruling at the Court of Appeal in Abuja, asking it to reverse the decision of the lower court.

8. While the case was pending at the Appeal Court, Ozo Nwabueze Okafor took seriously ill and died on January 8, 2017.

9. But before the demise of Okafor (the acting national chairman of APGA), the NWC at an emergency meeting, already aware that Chief Agbaso has since returned to the party, resolved to confirm Agbaso, as the deputy national chairman of the party.

10. When this decision was taken, a very powerful delegation of the NWC sent to convey the NWC decision to Agbaso could not meet him in person as he had travelled to the United States on a medical mission. But Agbaso conveyed his acceptance of the position.

11. With the death of Okafor, at an emergency meeting of the NWC in Enugu, the NWC adopted Agbaso as the national chairman of the APGA.

12. But due to Oye’s recalcitrance , the Enugu State deputy chairman of APGA, Chief Mike Alioke approached Enugu High Court, seeking an order of mandamus on INEC and the IGP to recognize the decision of the APGA NWC that appointed Agbaso as the national chairman of APGA.

13. On May 22, 2017 Justice A R Ozoemena of Enugu High Court granted an order of mandamus, compelling the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) and the Inspector-General of Police to recognize Chief Martin Agbaso as the acting chairman of APGA.

14. According to the court, the development will forestall a breakdown of law and order within the party and its faithful.

15. That decision by the court still subsists.

THE OUTLAWS IN THE SOUTHWEST AND THEIR ENABLER: THE AREA BOY CALLED OBA OF LAGOS Written by KEMKA S. IBEJI

Rilwan Akiolu  Till that area boy called Oba of Lagos is thrown into prison for his criminal calls during several election periods for the killing of Igbos in Lagos and his threat to murder Igbos in Yoruba land, that crime of segregation against the law of Nigeria, by some outlaws in the southwest, will continue. The law asserts that all Nigerians are free to live in any part of Nigeria and exercise their rights and enjoy their privileges as well. Just saying that an Igbo man can't vie for the governorship of Lagos State alone is a crime punishable by the laws of Nigeria. But what? Each election period we see plenteous crimes from all fours of Yoruba land with recklessness mindless of the law. But the federal government has always looked away. But a Yoruba man is ruling Nigeria which covers Igbo land. Is that conquest or something else? The problem that will consume the entire country (Nigeria) will start from here. The Igbos suffered the most grievous genocide in the history of Ni...

LET US CLING TO THE OLD SCIENCE TILL MODERN SCIENCE CLEARS OUR SUSPICION OF ITS ILLEGITIMATE GIFT TO FEMINISM IN THE SCIENCE OF REPRODUCTION Written by KEMKA S. IBEJI

Image
In Philosophy of the Sciences, a school of thought led by Karl Popper held that the methodology of the sciences is "Conjectures and Refutations".  But in a general consideration of philosophical methods, we recall a vibrant philosophical methodology called Dialects. Most Philosophy Scholars refer to this method as the Socratic Method. But as an African Philosopher who has the right foundation of Philosophy and have joined the unraveling of the truth of Africa as the cradle of Philosophy and, inferentially or consequently, civilization, I do not bless the crime of Western Philosophy and their jaundiced history with attributing or ascribing that revered philosophical methodology to an intellectual thief as Socrates. No! I therefore prefer to deal with DIALECTICS. So in Dialects, and attending to the application of philosophical super methodologies on the sciences, our intellectual surge adopts a logico mathematical super saunter that moves from thesis, through antithesis to syn...
