Just In: High Court Restrains Ali Modu Sheriff from Parading Self as PDP Chairman

 

A Federal High Court sitting in Port Harcourt, Rivers State, on Tuesday has granted an interim injunction restraining Ali Modu Sheriff from parading himself as the national chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), and also barred Adewale Oladipo from parading himself as the national secretary of the party.

 

According to Premium Times, the high court also granted a restraining order on all members of the party’s National Working Committee from receiving nominations or submitting names to the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) as officers or candidates of the PDP in whatever capacity pending the hearing and determination of the motion on notice brought by the party.

 

From the foregoing, it seems the commotion in the PDP is far from over as earlier on Tuesday, a Federal High Court sitting in Lagos reinstated Ali Modu Sheriff, and removed Ahmed Makarfi, who was appointed as chairman of the party’s caretaker committee.
