Court Rules On PDP Suit, Today
The Chairman of the old Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Alhaji Bamanga Tukur will today know his fate following the hearing of a suit filed by the Alhaji Abubakar Kawu Baraje-led leadership of the party seeking an interlocutory injunction restraining the Tukur-led executive from parading themselves as PDP NEC members.
The suit filed by the Baraje-led faction of the PDP against the party’s leadership led by Tukur, was yesterday in Lagos transferred to another judge, and adjourned to today for hearing.
The Chief Judge of Lagos State, Justice Ayotunde Phillips, re-assigned the case to Justice Oludotun Adefowope-Okojie for trial.
Our correspondent reports that the suit was initially handled by a vacation judge, Justice Ganiyu Safari.
Counsel to the parties, who had appeared before Safari’s court yesterday, were notified of the change.
The development stalled the hearing of the preliminary notice of objection filed by Tukur and three co-defendants.
Our correspondent reports that Baraje, Dr Sam Sam-Jaja and former Osun State Governor, who was also former PDP national secretary, Olagunsoye Oyinlola, had on September 1, filed the suit at an Ikeja High Court.
The claimants had asked the court for an interlocutory injunction restraining the defendants from parading themselves as PDP NEC members.
Joined in the suit as defendants are, Mr Uche Secondus, deputy national chairman; Dr Kema Chikwe, women leader; and Mr Olisa Metuh, national publicity secretary.
