UMEH`S BID TO VACATE COURT VERDICT SUFFERS SET BACK


Attempts by Sir Victor Umeh to retain his position as the national chairman of the All Progressives Grand Alliance, APGA suffered a setback on Thursday, as the Court of Appeal Enugu Division could not rule on the order restraining him.
The court, presided over by Justice Inyang Okoro, adjourned the case till January 15, following a letter stating that APGA`s Counsel, Mr. Chudi Obieze was indisposed.
Mr Obieze had informed the court that he was placed on a five day sick leave beginning from yesterday (Wednesday).
Arguing against the adjournment, Umeh’s Counsel, Mr. Pat Ikwueto (SAN), said it was a ploy to delay the court process and urged the court to vacate the lower court order while the substantive suit continued.

Sir Victor Umeh is seeking to vacate a high court order restraining him from functioning as the national chairman of APGA.
