Africa-Press<\/a> – Nigeria<\/a>. <\/strong><\/span>Uche Secondus, embattled National Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, on Friday opened up on his reinstatement by a Kebbi State High Court.<\/p>\n

Secondus said PDP believes in the rule of law and obeys court orders.<\/p>\n

Speaking when he arrived at the PDP\u2019s Secretariat ahead of the National Working Committee, NWC, meeting, Secondus said he was back to continue his duties.<\/p>\n

Secondus said he was at the meeting to honour the court ruling that reinstated him.<\/p>\n

He said, \u201cIt\u2019s good to be back. We are a party that respects the rule of law. We obey Court orders, we obeyed the order given last week and we are obeying the one given yesterday. We have a series of meetings today.\u201d<\/p>\n

A Rivers State High Court had ordered Secondus to stop parading himself as the National Chairman of the party.<\/p>\n

Hon. Justice O. Gbasam of the Degema Judicial Division Vacation Court sitting in Port Harcourt granted the injunction following a suit No: PHC\/2183\/CS\/2021 filed by Ibeawuchi Ernest Alex, Dennis Nana Amadi, Emmanuel Stephen and Umezirike Onucha against Uche Secondus (1st defendant) and the PDP (2nd defendant).<\/p>\n

However, the Kebbi State High Court yesterday reinstated the embattled PDP National Chairman.<\/p>\n

Justice Nusirat Umar who is on vacation at the Kebbi High Court gave the order in Birnin Kebbi on Thursday while ruling in suit no: KB\/AC\/M. 170\/2021.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
