Anxiety in PDP as Supreme Court Hears Secondus’ Appeal Tomorrow

There is palpable tension within the Peoples Democratic Party as the Supreme Court will tomorrow hear the appeal filed by the sacked National Chairman of the party, Prince Uche Secondus, asking the apex court to quash his removal from office, THISDAY has learnt.

Secondus wants the Supreme Court to interpret the PDP constitution as it concerns the power of the party to sack a member of the National Executive Committee , particularly, the national chairman of the party.Secondus had filed a notice of appeal before the Supreme Court asking it to declare that he is the only one who had the legal right to preside over the last national convention.

The court subsequently restrained Secondus from performing the functions of the office of the national chairman of the PDP. However, Secondus is now praying for the Supreme Court to declare that the appellate court erred in its judgment.Secondus said Section 222 of the Nigerian Constitution requires every political party to have a constitution, which shall be registered with the Independent National Electoral Commission .

“The Court of Appeal erred in law and violated the appellant’s right to a fair hearing when it held that the appellant, having been suspended as a member of the 6th respondent , could not continue to function as the national chairman.

Nothing and no need to fret.
