Justice Ikpambese resolved all the issues in favour of the plaintiff.
A member of the PDP in Benue State, Conrad Terhide Utaan, had dragged Ayu to court after his Igyorov Ward executive committee suspended him.
He sought a declaration of court that Ayu could no longer hold himself out, function and preside over the affairs of the PDP as its national chairman having seized to enjoy all the rights and privileges of membership by virtue of his suspension by the ward executive committee of the party in his Igyorov Council Ward of Gboko Local Government where he used to be a member of the party.
Ayu through his counsel J.J Usman filed preliminary objections to the suit bothering on the jurisdiction of the court to entertain the suit, saying it was an internal affair of the party.
