The Federal High Court, Abuja, on Monday, nullified the expulsion of former Governor of Enugu State, Chimaroke Nnamani, from the Peoples Democratic Party over alleged anti-party activities.
The judge said the constitution of the party stipulated that it was the NEC that was vested with the power to take disciplinary action against any erring member who is a governor, deputy governor and a serving member of the National Assembly. In the originating summons, the plaintiff asked the court to determine whether he could be suspended without giving him the constitutional right to a fair hearing.
But the respondents, in a counter affidavit and a preliminary objection, sought an order dismissing the suit.They said contrary to his argument; the party had the power to suspend him having been found to engage in anti-party activities.
