An Appeal Court sitting in Port Harcourt, Rivers State, has fixed Thursday, October 28, to hear and determine an appeal filed by Prince Uche Secondus, suspended former national chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party.
Secondus, in the appeal marked CA/PH/ 339, is asking the court to restrain the PDP from conducting its national convention slated for October 30-31, 2021.
The embattled former chairman was edged out following his feud with Rivers State Governor Nyesom Wike. Already, the party’s national convention where a new national chairman would be elected has been slated for Saturday.
Meanwhile, the 24-member Screening Appeals Committee led by Senator Ike Ekweremadu on Tuesday met to consider complaints received after the clearance and disqualification of aspirants for the party’s National Working Committee (NWC) offices ahead of the convention.
Ekweremadu, while speaking before the commencement of the sitting, said the committee received five appeals and petitions against a couple of cleared aspirants.
