One could possibly say this is the end of the road for Prince Uche Secondus, embattled Chairman of the opposition Party, Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, following the verdict of the Court of Appeal Ruling in Port Harcourt, Rivers State, that ordered that the PDP Convention scheduled for October 30 and 31st 2021, should go ahead.
The three-man Appeal Court cleared the PDP to proceed with its national convention, however, dismissing the motion for Interim order of injunction brought by Secondus, seeking the suspension of the party’s convention.
An Appeal Court sitting in Port Harcourt, Rivers State capital, has dismissed the suit filed by Uche Secondus to challenge the forthcoming convention of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
All the three judges led by Justice Haruna Tsammani affirmed the ruling without any dissenting voice.
Secondus, in an appeal marked CA/PH/ 339, had asked the court to restrain PDP from conducting its national convention slated for October 30 and 31, 2021, after been edged out following his feud with Governor Nyesom Wike of Rivers State.
Secondus had through his Lawyer, Tayo Oyetubo, prayed the court to suspend the convention and grant him the right to preside over the exercise.
But on Friday, the court set aside Secondus Appeal.
The main suit is, however, still in Court. Secondus is arguing that his tenure expires in December, and his suspension, illegal.
Already, 3,600 delegates are in Abuja for the Convention.
