Justice Umar granted an interim order filed by three members of the party from the state.
The plaintiffs further prayed the court for an order “granting leave to the 1st respondent to continue exercising all the constitutional powers of the office of Chairman of PDP as enshrined in both 1999 Constitution of Nigeria as amended and the Peoples Democratic Party’s constitution pending the hearing and final determination of applicant’s motion on notice.”
The NWC meeting which was presided over by the party’s acting chairman, Akinwonmi, was the first after the suspension of Uche Secondus by a Rivers State High Court. Ologbondiyan said, “I can clearly say on behalf of our party that we have navigated the turbulence that we find ourselves in and today, like all witnesses when you came in, there are no factions in the Peoples Democratic Party. The motion was moved and Elder Yemi Akinwonmi was unanimously approved as the Acting Chairman of our great party.
“So for us in the Peoples Democratic Party, it’s so far, so good. I want to thank Nigerians for their interest in the activities of the Peoples Democratic Party in the last couple of weeks, and I want them to know that as a party, that we are back as one.” On his part, the acting chairman, Akinwonmi, said contrary to the insinuations arising from the recent leadership crisis, PDP is not dead.
“The NWC has accepted and adopted the end of October as the end of our tenure. We will soon set the machinery of the convention in Motion. We will soon set the ball rolling for us to have our convention and have a new set of officers to come and pilot the affairs of our party.
