Erue is seeking an order of the court declaring null and void, a judgment of the Delta State High Court, Asaba which sacked him (Erue) in 2015, as the authentic state chairman of the party, along with his executive committee. The court has, meanwhile directed Erue’s counsel, Mr N. A. Umukoro, “to serve your four motions on the second respondent’s (Chief Oyegun) counsel, J. Okala, before the next adjourned date, to pave way for the court to entertain the motions.” When the matter came up for hearing, counsel to the first respondent (APC) Mr. Matthew Burkaa, raised alarm over the delay in the matter, saying, “The matter has suffered endless adjournments.” Burkaa who expressed dismay said: “This case has suffered too many adjournments occasioned by the petitioner (Erue) who himself filed the matter. Up till now, his counsel has not properly directed the court on the way forward. “When we came on April 26, 2016, the plaintiff’s counsel could not regularise his four motions before the court, forcing the court to adjourn to 28/6/2016. “On that day, I expected that he should, at least move one motion but I was surprised that the counsel to the second defendant (Chief Oyegun), Mr J. C. Okala, opposed that, saying that he was not yet served with the said motions. “The plaintiff (Erue) has filed an ex-perte motion, on November 27, 2015, in which he is seeking to vacate an order of a Delta State High Court, Asaba, which ousted him from office as the legitimate state chairman of APC, along with his executive committee. APC which I represent has promptly filed an application on December 7, 2015, to set that motion aside.” By the rule of the court, the time allowed for determining my application is 14 days, yet it is now six months, the application has not been discharged. “It is giving one cause for concern, particularly as the same appeal by the plaintiff lies pending at the Court of Appeal sitting in Benin City.” Not satisfied with that, he lodged before the Federal High Court, sitting in Warri, an e-xparte motion for a stay of execution of the judgment of the Delta State High Court, since November 27, 2015, which we applied to challenge.”]]>
