72 hours after a Rivers State High Court temporarily sacked him, embattled National Chairman, Prince Uche Secondus, is back on the saddle, courtesy of another court of equal jurisdiction in Kebbi State.
Three concerned members of the party, Yahaya Usman , Abubakar Mohammed and Bashar Suleman approached the Kebbi High Court to push for Secondus’ reinstatement.
They were the claimants/Applicant in the case while Prince Secondus and the PDP are the defendants/Respondents.
Justice Nusirat I. Umar, a vacation Judge of the Kebbi state High Court, Thursday, ordered Prince Uche Secondus to return to his position as the National Chairman.
In the suit brought before her in Birnin Kebbi, Umar said she was satisfied after reading the affavidit of the respondents that an interim order should be granted on the purported suspension of Prince Secondus pending the determination of the case.
Specifically, the court granted “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.”
