Following the appointment of Deputy National Chairman Dayo Akinwonmi by the PDP national working committee August 26, another court just vacated former Chairman Uche Secondus’ suspension.
Justice Nusirat. I. Umar, a vacation Judge of the Kebbi State High Court, has ordered Uche Secondus to return to his position as national chairman
Justice Umar gave the order in Birnin Kebbi on Thursday while ruling in suit no: KB/AC/M. 170/2021.
She ruled she was satisfied after reading the affidavit of the respondents that an interim order be granted on the purported suspension of Secondus pending judgment.
She granted leave to Secondus “to continue exercising all the constitutional powers of the office of Chairman of PDP (second defendant) as enshrined in both 1999 Constitution of Nigeria as amended and the Peoples Democratic Party’s constitution…”
Party members, Yahaya Usman, Abubakar Mohammed and Bashar Suleman, are the claimants/applicants in the matter.
The PDP has never remained the same since Rivers Gov Nyesom Wike decided to oust his chairman by means.
A Rivers high court granted an ex pare order suspending Secondus.
Two national deputies began scrambling for the seat following the court decision.
All the party leadership structures seem helpless amid the confusion.
