Appeal Court in Port Harcourt has fixed Thursday, twenty-eighth of October, 2021 to hear and rule on the motion for Interim order of injunction brought by former National Chairman of the People’s Democratic Party, Prince Uche Secondus against the PDP and others.
Prince Uche Secondus through his Counsel, Payo Oyetubo is asking the Court to suspend the October, thirtieth, and thirty-first National Convention of the PDP and should allow him the right to preside over the convention.
Our Correspondent reports that when the matter was mentioned in court, six other members of the People’s Democratic Party drew the attention of the court on their application for joinder which was not opposed by counsel to Secondus and was subsequently granted by the three-man panel of the appeal court.
The defendants Counsel including those who joined in the suit however opposed the motion for Interim injunction by Secondus counsel seeking to stop the PDP forthcoming National Convention and asked for time to respond to the process.
The three-man appeal panel led by Justice Haruna Simon Tsammani after listening to the argument from the parties, ordered counsel to the plaintiff to serve the process to the defendants Counsel within twenty-four hours while respondents counsels should respond within twenty-four hours and adjourned the matter to the 28th of October, for hearing and possible ruling on the motion.
