- A court has reinstated Secondus as PDP National Chairman.
EKOHOTBLOG reports that the Kebbi State High Court has reinstated Uche Secondus as the National Chairman of the opposition Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
Justice Nusirat. I. Umar, a vacation Judge of the Kebbi State High Court, gave the order via a suit brought before her in Birnin Kebbi, the state capital on Thursday, in case KB/AC/M. 170/2021.
The latest development is coming two days after a Rivers State High Court restrained Secondus from parading himself as the PDP Chairman.
However, Justice Umar, in her ruling on Thursday, said she was satisfied after reading the affidavit of the respondents that an interim order be granted on the purported suspension of Secondus pending judgment.
