On Thursday, August 26, 2021, a Kebbi State High Court reinstated Secondus as the National Chairman of the opposition Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).

The development came two days after a Rivers State High Court restrained Secondus from parading himself as the PDP Chairman.

The judge granted leave to 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.
