A Federal High Court sitting in Maitama, Abuja has sacked the Acting
Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Uche Secondus.
The
judge, Justice Hussein Baba-Yusuf while passing his verdict on a suit
by former Political Adviser to ex-President Goodluck Jonathan, Ahmed
Gulak, held that Secondus’s position as the party’s Chairman was
illegal.
Justice Baba-Yusuf noted that Secondus was from Rivers
State, and not North-east geopolitical zone to which the PDP zoned the
position.
He
gave Secondus 14 days within which to vacate the office and directed
that the plaintiff or any other party member worthy of that position
should take Secondus’ place.
Meanwhile, lawyer to the PDP and
Secondus, Chuwan Isaiah Paul, said the party will appeal the judgment
and seek a stay of its execution to allow the party’s current leadership
prepare for its national convention slated for March next year.
