The Kebbi State High Court has ordered Uche Secondus to return to his position as the national chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP.
This is coming days after the Federal High Court in Port Harcourt removed from the post and less than 12 hours after the National Working Committee, NWC, of the party announced the deputy national chairman (South), Yemi Akinwonmi as acting national chairman.
The presiding judge, Justice Nusirat Umar said she was satisfied after reading the affidavit of the respondents (Yahaya Usman, Abubakar Mohammed and Bashar Suleman), in a suit No. KB/AC/M. 170/2021 brought before her, that an interim order should be granted on the purported suspension of Prince Secondus pending the determination of the case.
“An order of this honourable court granting leave to the first respondent (Uche 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 pending the hearing and final determination of applicant’s motion on notice,” the order reads.
