The African Action Congress (AAC) has expelled its National Chairman and Presidential candidate in the last general elections, Mr. Omoyele Sowore from the party.
Also affected were 28 other national officers of the party.
The AAC took the decision in ratification of its NEC approval, at its National Convention which took place at Rockview Hotel, Owerri, Imo State.
Sowore was replaced by Dr. Leonard Nzenwa, while other new officers including Mr Femi Abayomi who is now the new National Treasurer, were chosen to man the affairs of the Party.
The National Chairman, Dr Leonard Ezenwa, promised to work assiduously to restructure and reposition the party.
He said the AAC will be worked on to be able to win elections in the near future.
Dr Ezinwa disassociated the AAC from any revolution whatsoever ,saying the Party is a law abiding one that seeks the betterment of the Nation and the people.
Meanwhile a Federal High Court in Abuja recently approved the request of the Department of State Services (DSS) to detain the convener of #RevolutionNow, Omoyele Sowore for 45 days pending investigation.
Justice Taiwo on Thursday directed that the 45 days can be renewed if investigation is not concluded in the allegations of terrorism made against Sowore.
Justice Taiwo said the court would not ignore the facts presented by the security agency as it is such that must be investigated to be proved with a view to prosecuting him or it will be discarded.
He said the use of the word: ‘may’ in Section 27(1), 2015 of the Terrorism Prevention Act gives the court the discretion in determining the matter, adding that the word connotes ‘directory’ rather than ‘mandatory’ meaning.
Exhibits presented by the DSS includes: Digital video display of a conference between Sowore and one Nnamdi Kanu; and a digital video display of comments made by Sowore in paragraph 4 of the affidavit that members of proscribed IMN were going to join forces with him to bring down the government.
The DSS had on August 6 brought the application through its counsel, G.O. Abadua seeking to further detain Sowore, who is the publisher of Sahara Reporters for 90 days pending investigation.
