Federal High Court in Abuja on Monday restrained the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) from suspending or expelling the Governor of Rivers, Nyesom Wike, from the party.
Justice James Omotosho made the order following an ex-parte motion filed by Governor Wike against the PDP and its top officials.
Governor Wike, in the motion, had sued the PDP, its National Working Committee and National Executive Committee (NEC); including the National Chairman of PDP, Dr. Iyorchia Ayu; National Secretary of the party, Senator Samuel Anyanwu, and the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) as 1st to 6th respondents respectively.
The governor prayed for an order directing all parties to maintain the status quo and stay all actions in the matter relating to the threat to suspend or expel him by the 1st to 5th respondents pending the hearing and determination of the originating motion.
The judge, consequently, adjourned the matter until Feb. 14 for hearing
