The Port Harcourt division of the Court of Appeal has dismissed the suit filed by the estranged National Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Uche Secondus seeking to stop the party’s national convention scheduled for October 31st.
Tayo Oyetibo Counsel representing the Appellant Uche Secondus, had in his submission urged the Court to give an exception judgement to the main appeal, pointing out that the right of his client as PDP National Chairman will be destroyed, if the appeal is not granted.
The three man panel in a judgement dismissed the suit for lacking in merit.
The judges led by Justice Haruna Tsammani found no merit in Mr Secondus’ appeal saying he voluntarily relinquished his office since he did not challenge his removal at ward and local government levels.
Secondus had filed the suit marked: CA/PH/339/2021 seeking, among others, to restrain the PDP from conducting its national convention which is scheduled to hold in Abuja on Oct. 30th and 31st.
