The Chairman of the Caretaker Committee of Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Ebonyi State, Mr. Fred Udeogu, has dragged the state Chief Judge (CJ), Justice Anselm Nwigwe, before the National Judicial Council (NJC) and Chief Justice of Nigeria (CJN) over alleged abuse of office.
Udeogu had in the four-page petition dated December 7, referred to what he termed “obnoxious ex parte injunction” in the suit challenging Governor Dave Umahi’s decision on the suspension of the PDP’s State Executive Committee as basis for the action.
The PDP chief, in the petition, called on the NJC and CJN to probe into the speedy re-assignment of the case by the CJ to himself allegedly at the behest of the governor.
