Court Halts Abia State PDP Delegate Election


A Federal High Court sitting in Abuja, on Wednesday, stopped the ruling Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) from conducting the election of the the-man ad hoc delegates from the different wards in Abia State, slated for Saturday, in line with the endorsement and approval of the 11-man committee headed by Chief Charles Ogbonna for that purpose.

Justice A.B Muhammed granted the interim order on Wednesday, after listening to counsel for the plaintiff, Nwoke Kalu, who moved the motion ex parte brought under order 31 Rule 1 [2] of the rules of the court.

The plaintiffs, Chiefs Igwe Chukwu and Eche James, members of the PDP, brought the suit seeking to sack the committee which, in their opinion, was set up to stop certain people from participating in the elections.

Joined as defendants in the suit were PDP, national chairman of the party, Alhaji Adamu Mu’azu, for himself and as representing members of the National Working Committee (NWC) of the party; Senator Emma C. Nwaka, for himself and as representing the state working committee of PDP, Abia State chapter and Chief Charles Ogbonna, for himself and as representing other committee members for the election of three-man ad hoc delegate.

Justice Muhammed further adjourned till November 10, for hearing of the substantive case
