Court halts PDP congress in Rivers, restrains national leaders

A Rivers State High Court sitting in Port Harcourt has restrained the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, its national chairman, national financial secretary, and national organising secretary from holding or carrying out the congress, scheduled for July 27, 2024, in Rivers State.
The presiding judge, Justice Sobere Hambo, in an ex parte application brought by the Caretaker Committee Chairman of Emohua Local Government Area, David Omereji, and 10 others against the defendants, also stopped them from holding the congress at any other location or date pending the determination of the motion on notice already filed.
The court issued an order of interim injunction restraining the defendants, either by themselves or their agents, from taking further decisions or giving directives to extend the tenure of the state, local government, and ward executives of PDP.
Justice Hambo adjourned the matter until July 19, 2024, for the motion on notice.
