A panel of three justices led by Justice Haruna Tsammani struck out the
suit on Tuesday during its sitting in the Rivers State capital.
In its judgement delivered on September 10, a High Court in Rivers
affirmed the suspension of Secondus from the party at his ward in Ikuru
Town in Andoni Local Government Area of the state.
Meanwhile, the court has adjourned the argument on the application
seeking to stop the PDP from conducting its National Convention this
weekend.
The PDP had fixed October 30 and 31 for a special convention to elect
new national officers in Abuja, as a means to resolve the internal crisis
that rocked the Secondus led National Working Committee of the party.
But Secondus, not pleased with the decision to conduct the convention
which would abruptly end his tenure that was due to expire in
December, filed an application as part of the processes in the ongoing
litigation over his suspension from the party, to also stop the party from
holding the convention.
