A High Court in Benue State has dismissed a suit seeking to set aside the suspension of Iyorchia Ayu as a member of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
The suit, which was filed by one Nongo Ordue, had also sought to reinstate Ayu as the National Chairman of the party.
Ordue filed the suit on behalf of a 17-member executive of Ayu’s Igyorov Council Ward of Gboko Gboko Local Government Area of Benue State.
