Breaking News: Amaechi Gets Court Order Against His Suspension by PDP

A Port Harcourt High Court has stopped the PDP from taking further action against the Governor Chibuike Amaechi as the Chairman of the Nigeria Governors Forum pending hearing on the suit challenging the suspension by the Party.

Justice M. Ogbuji of the State High Court issued the order following the preliminary application brought by Governor Amaechi’s Team of Lawyers led by the a Senior Advocate of Nigeria A. Olujumi.
Justice Ogbuji ordered the PDP to maintain the status quo in the matter and appear before it on the 6th of June 2013.

The Court also directed Governor Amaechi to serve the PDP the necessary court processes and also make publications in National Dailies.
Meanwhile the lead Counsel for Governor Amaechi Akin Olujimi told newsmen that they are in Court to ask the Court to set aside the suspension of Governor Amaechi by the PDP.

“There was a purported suspension of His Excellency by the PDP, we want it quashed, so we came to Court, and of course you do not decide that it at the preliminary stage like this, you can only ask for order to stop them, so the preliminary order is to stop them from doing anything further based on that suspension” he said.
Some of Governor Amaechi’s lawyers said the suspension is done in bad faith.
