It gets worse for Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) National Chairman, Prince Uche Secondus; but for the “coup plotters” who want him out, it is good news. A Cross River high Court has stopped Secondus from participating in the National Executive Committee (NEC) of the embattled, opposition party meeting holding this Saturday in Abuja.
With interim orders and injunctions of courts of equal jurisdictions flying about, the new order on Friday also barred PDP from allowing Secondus to function as national chairman or presiding over the NEC meetings of the party.
The interim order in the suit No HC/240/2021, specifically restrained Secondus from assuming the office of National Chairman of the 2nd Defendant, (Peoples Democratic Party, PDP).
Obviously, the NEC meeting is to nail the troubled Chairman’s political coffin and ratify the national convention of the party holding between October 29 and 30, 2021.
Justice Edem Kufre on Friday acted on an application brought by a member of the party, Enang Wani, to stop Secondus from presiding or participating in the PDP NEC meeting on Saturday, because he has allegedly been sacked as a member of the party by his ward in Andoni local government area of Rivers State.
