PDP Crisis: See What The Court Just Did To Order Stopping Wike’s Suspension

Wike

The order prohibiting the Peoples Democratic Party from suspending or expelling Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Wike, has been extended by a Federal High Court in Abuja.

The court extended the interim order it issued on February 2 preventing the PDP and its leadership from attempting to suspend or expel the Governor.

The PDP, the party’s National Working Committee, the National Executive Council, its Chairman, Iyiocha Ayu, the National Secretary, Samuel Anyanwu, and the Independent National Electoral Commission are all named as defendants in the suit.

Wike had informed the court, through his lawyer, Mr Joshua Musa, SAN, that the first to fifth respondents had served him with a counter-affidavit they filed in opposition to the suit.

As a result, he requested a brief adjournment to allow him to file his response to the respondents.

The governor also requested an order directing all parties to maintain the status quo.

After hearing Wike’s lawyer, Justice Omotosho granted all of the requested reliefs.

“An order is hereby made that all parties in this suit shall maintain peace and shall not take any action or step or act that may make the outcome of the motion on notice dated and filed on 2nd February 2023 nugatory and worthless.”

“Any act or step or action made so as to make the outcome of the motion on notice dated and filed 2nd February 2023 nugatory shall be a nullity.

“That leave is hereby granted to the applicant (Wike) to serve the originating motion, motion on notice and all other processes of this court in this suit on the 1st to 5th respondents by substituted means to wit, by pasting all the said processes of court on PDP National Secretariat, Wadata Plaza, Wuse Zone 5, Federal Capital Territory, Abuja,” he said.
