Ousted National Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Ali Modu Sheriff has secured an order of a Federal High Court in Abuja cancelling the national convention of the party scheduled to hold in August this year.
Sheriff had approached the court, seeking an order to cancel the convention which is being organized by the Makarfi faction of the PDP on the grounds that the May 29th Port Harcourt convention which ousted him was illegal.
In his ruling on Thursday, Justice Okon Abang concurred with the position of the plaintiff.
“The convention was unlawfully held and the caretaker committee was unlawfully constituted. If the Markarfi-led faction, as an apostle of impunity, missed its way to the Port Harcourt division of the FHC, the court cannot be said to have acted within its legal jurisdiction in entertaining the matter,” he said.
