The Deputy National Chairman (South) of the Peoples Democratic Party, Elder Yemi Akinwonmi, has stepped in to run the affairs of the party.
This is following the suspension of Uche Secondus as the National Chairman of the party by a High Court in Rivers State on Monday.
The court restrained Secondus from performing the functions of national chairman of the PDP, including calling, attending or presiding over any meeting of the party, among others.

It also restrained Secondus also from participating in any activity of the party whatsoever whilst on suspension as a member of the party pending the hearing and determination of the motion on notice.
Taking over on Tuesday, Akinwonmi cited Section 35 (b) of the PDP Constitution to back up his action.
He also announced the indefinite suspension of the National Working Committee meeting of the party.
