A High Court in Abuja has dismissed a suit filed against immediate past Chairman of All Progressives Congress (APC), Mr Adams Oshiomhole and three others.

The suit, filed by Mr Mustapha Salihu and five others, is one of which the court granted an interim order on March 4, 2020, suspending Oshiomhole from further acting as APC’s National Chairman.

Recall that Court of Appeal, in Abuja in a judgment on June 16, 2020, upheld Oshiomhole’s suspension.

Parties however were to return to the High Court for determination of substantive suit, when on Thursday, Plaintiff’s lawyer, Mr Oluwola Afolabi moved a motion to withdraw the case.

Afolabi said the withdrawal was informed by the directives of APC leaders, which says all court cases be discontinued in the interest of peace.

Lawyer to Oshiomhole and one other, Ms Ginika Ezeoke said she was not opposed to the plaintiffs’ desire to withdraw.

Ezeoke then urged the court to dismiss the suit on the grounds that parties have filed pleadings and have be enjoined issues in relation to the subject of the case.

Ruling, Mr Danlami Senchi dismissed the suit and ordered parties to bear their respective costs.
