An Appeal Court sitting in Port Harcourt, South-South Nigeria, has dismissed the appeal of the suspended National Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Uche Secondus, seeking an interim injunction to restrain the party from conducting its national convention.
The PDP is Nigeria’s main opposition party, which had governed the country for 16 years, from 1999 to 2015 when it lost power at the centre to All-Progressives Congress (APC).
The convention of the PDP is billed for Saturday and Sunday, October 30 and 31, 2021, in Abuja.
The three-man panel dismissed the appeal which was filed on October 14.
The judgment was read by Justice Gabriel Kolawale which was unanimously endorsed by the other two members of the panel.
