The Nation Newspaper Court refuses to vacate order barring Secondus, Opara, Omehia from PDP’s meetings
A Federal High Court in Abuja has dismissed applications filed by a former National Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party , Uche Secondus, and two others seeking to vacate an order barring them from attending leadership meetings of the party.
The court had, on April 5, issued ex parte orders which, among others, restrained the three PDP chieftains from attending any meeting of the party’s National Executive Committee or participating in deliberations or proceedings of the meetings in any manner pending the determination of the substantive suit.
Secondus, Opara, and Omehia had applied that the execution of the orders be stayed pending the determination of the appeals they filed, challenging the ex parte orders.In three different rulings yesterday, Justice Inyang Ekwo held that the applications for stay were wrongly filed and, therefore, incompetent.High Court Rules 2019, Secondus, Opara, and Omehia ought to apply to the court to either vary or discharge the orders, not to apply for stay.
“The first defendant/applicant ought to have familiarised himself with the provisions of the rules of this court before embarking on this course. “
