A high court in Makurdi, Benue State has issued an interim injunction restraining Dr Iyorchia Ayu from parading himself as the National Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
The presiding judge, Justice W.I. Kpochi gave the interim order today in a suit filed at the court by Engr Conrad Terhide Utaan with Ayu and the PDP as defendants.
The case has been adjourned until April 17 for further hearing.
Responding, The National Chairman of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) Iyorchia Ayu, has asked party faithfuls and Nigerians to disregard reports about his suspension from the party by his ward executives.
Ayu made this known on Monday, through a statement signed by his media aide, Simon Imobo-Tswam.
The Executive Committee of the PDP in Igyorov Ward of Gboko Local Government Area of Benue State had reportedly suspended Ayu on Sunday, after passing a vote of no confidence on him for alleged anti-party activities.
However, the embattled PDP national chairman claimed that “the document itself is fraudulent as the signatures of the Ward Executives were forged or obtained under duress.”
Ayu further clarified that he has not been suspended but that some disgruntled stakeholders were scheming to cause disunity within the party’s ranks
