PDP: Rivers Court upholds Secondus’ suspension as chairman

A High Court sitting in Port Harcourt, Rivers State has upheld the suspension of the embattled National Chairman of People’s Democratic Party, Uche Secondus.

The court presided over by Justice Okugbelem Ggasam in his judgement on Friday relied on the suspension of Ward 5 in Andoni local government area of the State brought by some aggrieved members of the PDP, Ibeawuchi Ernest Alex and four others against Secondus and the PDP.

Justice O. Gbasam maintained in Suit No: PHC/2183/CS/2021 between Ibeawuchi Ernest Alex, Dennis Nna Amadi, Emmanuel Stephen Umezirike Onucha (as claimants) and Prince Uche Secondus and People’s Democratic Party (defendants), that the suspension of the embattled chairman subsists.

Counsel to Uche Secondus expressed dissatisfaction against the ruling, noting that his client will appeal the judgement.
