Recall that the crisis rocking the APC worsened last week as an Enugu State High Court restrained Ugochukwu Agballah from parading himself as the chairman of the party.
But infuriated by the development, the APC National Vice Chairman, South-East, Ijeomah Arodiogbu, accused the judge of compromise, and vowed that the party would petition the National Judicial Council, NJC.
Reacting, Nwoye emphasized that no individual was above the law, especially leaders who command significant influence.
The former chairman who spoke to journalists at the secretariat of the Nigeria Union of Journalists, NUJ, Enugu Correspondents’ Chapel frowned at the statement by Arodiogbu, pointing out that such comment which seemed to be challenging legal rulings was not good for the nation’s democracy.
The former APC chairman equally harped that as a national vice chairman, Arodiogbu was expected to act as a guiding figure within the party, positing that it was not within his right or discretion to unilaterally interpret constitutional matters.
He advised APC leaders, irrespective of their affiliations, to be more responsible in their public discourse and comments.
The APC chieftain equally called on security operatives to heighten their vigilance and ensure proper protection around the acting chairman of the APC in the state, Chief Alphonsus Nwafor, as well as the Enugu High Court presiding judge who issued the injunction, and all APC properties in the state.
