Group lauds judiciary over court verdict on removal of Ararume as NNPCL chair

The commendation is coming on the heels of the recent judgment given by the Federal High Court sitting in Abuja which nullified the sacking of Senator Ifeanyi Ararume as Non-Executive Chairman of the Nigeria National Petroleum Company Limited (NNPCL).

“The verdict delivered by Justice Inyang Ekwo is a good omen and an affirmation that indeed the Judiciary remains the only hope of the common man,” the group said via a statement signed by its chairperson, Comr. Adebisi Oyeleke and head of media and publicity, Comr. Nefisat K. Ahmed.

The group wondered why the Muhammadu Buhari-led government had summarily sacked Ararume for no just cause, calling for his urgent reinstatement following the favourable judgment.
