In a lead judgement as was delivered by Justice Tom Yakubu and in accord by Justice Paul Galinje (who is the chairman) and Justice Modupe Kwasami, all in the Appeal Court Panel, Chief Victor Umeh has been granted all the four reliefs sought by him, the appellant. In his ruling on the case against the APGA chairman filed by an expelled member of the party in Enugu State, Mr. Jude Okuli, ordered the removal of Umeh on the ground that his tenure expired in 2010. He went further to declare the November 10, 2011 national convention of the party held in Awka where Umeh and other NWC members were re-elected as unconstitutional and urged the party to conduct fresh convention for election of her national officers, the Enugu Appellant court however, resolved all these in favour of Chief VIctor Umeh.
These came to pass, after several months of legal battle over who is or should be the authentic chairman of this great party, APGA - All Progressives Grand Alliance. Some of the party's stalwarts had since been congratulating Chief Umeh on his victory at the court.
Meanwhile, the jubilant Umeh with members of the party's National Working Committee immediately after the judgement, moved straight to Ojukwu's grave yard in Nnewi to dedicate his victory and he said; " Our leader, we have come to tell you that we are back again. We have come to invoke your spirit once again. Members of APGA' NWC are here, those of them that are loyal to your course".
