Earlier, Legit.ng reported that Oshiomhole was on Wednesday suspended as the national chairman of the ruling APC by a Federal Capital Territory high court in Jabi.
Following the development, the (former) acting national secretary of the APC, Chief Victor Giadom, has said the ruling party will respect the court order suspending Oshiomhole.
Giadom in his reaction told newsmen the party will abide by the order.
However, Oshiomhole has filed for a stay of execution of action over the interim order suspending him as the national chairman of the APC.
Simon Egbebulem, chief press secretary to Oshiomhole said the chairman has filed for a stay of execution and appealed the ruling.
He also added that the legal team of Oshiomhole is studying the matter.
Oshiomhole's suspension, as expected, has sparked up heated arguments and reactions from Nigerians on social media.
Lekan Adigun wrote on Twitter: "I'm beginning to think the Courts are assuming the powers they don't have. Judges will soon start arrogating to themselves the powers to appoint party chairs. The powers to discipline party officers are internal displinary mechanisms!"
Oloye Ayo Gbadebo wrote: "After suspending oshiomhole,COURT should extend that COURTesy to the S/W too. Abi he no touch party leader ni?Face with tears of joy. High court pls, Suspend everybody danu, they are not doing well jare."
Osirmah commented: "Can’t wait for Adams oshiomhole to give his own interpretation of the court suspension."
"Oshiomhole is unshakable, Obaseki and Co can only try their best to dislodge him, but to their greatest surprise they will never succeed. Those few men against Adams are obviously not loyal to the APC party and its course, they are good for nothing, good looking bad eggs," General Michael Akanji wrote.
