A Federal High Court in Gusau, Zamfara State, has declined an ex-parte order filed by a member of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to pave the way for the party’s National Executive meeting scheduled to be held on Thursday, October 24.
It was reported earlier that the PDP Governors’ Forum, led by Senator Bala Mohammed, Governor of Bauchi State, was seeking an ex-parte order to ensure the NEC meeting was held so the forum could have its way in the ongoing feud for the party’s soul.
Court documents sighted by this medium showed that the request was made at 8:30 a.m. on 22nd October 2024 and filed by Imam Auwal, a member of the PDP in Gusau.
The group wants to ignore the Federal High Court Abuja order barring the party from removing its acting National Chairman, Umar Damagum.
However, Justice Salim Ibrahim declined the order in a ruling yesterday and adjourned the case until Friday, October 25.
