Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) Caretaker Committee led by Fred Udogu,
The court, which said the caretaker committee was illegal, ordered the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) not to recognise it.
The court held that the dissolution of the Ebonyi State Executive Committee of the PDP was illegal and cannot stand.
Suit
The court judgement followed a suit instituted by Nnachi Okoro, the legal adviser of the Onyekachi Nwebonyu-led PDP executive in Ebonyi state, which was dissolved in November by the national leadership of the Party, after Governor David Umahi’s defection to the All Progressives Congress.
The Plaintiff, Mr Okoro, had argued that his purported removal from office as the legal adviser of the PDP by virtue of the dissolution of the purported State Executive Committee of the Party without fair hearing, was contrary to the party’s constitution and the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.
