A Federal High Court sitting in Abakaliki, Ebonyi State, has affirmed the suspension of Ali Odefa as the National Vice Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).

EKO HOT BLOG reports that however, Odefa dismissed the suspension as baseless, claiming that those who carried it out were not legitimate ward executives of the party and lacked the authority to take such action.
The case, marked FHC/AI/CS/182/2024, was filed by Herbert Ovuta against Odefa. Presiding over the matter, Justice Hilary Oshomah ruled that the suspension was valid and binding. The court ordered Odefa to immediately cease presenting himself as the National Vice Chairman of the PDP.

The judgment reinforces the authority of local party structures in addressing alleged misconduct among members, even those holding high-ranking positions.
