Oshiomhole has said that he has accepted the court’s verdict, which upheld his suspension, even though he is yet to determine his next moves.
Speaking during an interview on Channels Television’s Politics Today yesterday, Oshiomhole noted that his next line of action will be determined by his lawyers based on legal advice.
“We thank their lordships, they have given their judgment. In our democracy, the court is an independent arm of government.
“When they hand that judgment, it is not for you to pick whether you will obey or not. I accept their judgment in good fate.
“My lawyers will advise having studied the judgment, what the next line of action will be. So at this point, I will just thank their Lordships for their judgment and look forward to my lawyers on what should be the next line if there should be another next line of action,” he said.
When asked if he would instruct his lawyers to appeal the ruling of the appellate court on his suspension, the embattled APC chief neither confirmed nor opposed the question.
Rather, he stated that his next move would not be discussed on national television.
He said: “What I do next would be based on my legal advice and my lawyers will act on that. I don’t think I need to communicate that through the television. It’s a relationship between a lawyer and his client. And I think we should leave it at that.”
Reacting to the decision of the party’s NWC to disqualify Obaseki from participating in the APC primary election on June 22, Oshiomhole said there was no going back on the decision.
While pleading for peace among members, he advised Giadom against parading himself as the national chairman of the party.
