‘We’ve approached court for Kekemeke’s removal’ – APC

Some members of Ondo State All Progressives Congress (APC) have sued their chairman, Isaac Kekemeke, at the Federal High Court, Abuja.

They urged the court to stop him from parading himself as the party chairman.

The party members said they decided to approach the court since the chairman, who had  allegedly been removed by the State Executive Committee on August 20, was still parading himself in that position.

The suit was filed by Publicity Secretary Omo’ba Abayomi Adesanya, Youth Leader Olutayo Babalayo and Akoko Southwest APC Chairman  Daodu Bolakale.

But Kekemeke said he was not aware of any suit.

A statement issued by Adesanya and the acting state chairman, Ade Adetimehin, in Akure, queried Kekemeke on why he should summon a meeting of the State Executive Committee for today.

The statement insisted that since the executive committee passed a vote of no confidence on the chairman, the acting committee put in place has the legitimate right to called for a meeting.

In the suit, the party members sought for an order of interlocutory injunction retraining Kekemeke from further parading himself as the APC chairman.

They sought an order of interlocutory injunction restraining the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), the Police and the Department of State Service (DSS) from dealing with him.

But Kekemeke said he had not been served any court order and that “those making the noise” were just wasting their time.

He said: “As a lawyer, I am not aware of any suit that stopped me from parading myself as the chairman.

“Even if they have sued me, there is no any court order restraining me from parading myself as the chairman. So, it does not make sense.

“I have just met with the party chairmen at the local governments level and they pass their vote of confidence on me.”
