Abuja (Sundiata Post) – A high court sitting in Enugu has ordered Senator Samuel Nnaemeka Anyanwu to stop parading himself as the National Secretary of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
It was learnt that the National Secretariat of the party refused to collect the fresh order as the party locked its main gate, preventing the court bailiff from serving its executives.
It was gathered that the Umar Damagum-led PDP had consistently disobeyed court orders. https://sundiatapost.com/pdp-will-discuss-with-sen-utazi-to-resolve-grievances/
The court earlier on October 20, 2023 ruled and ordered the National Working Committee (NWC) to acknowledge Hon. SKE Udeh-Okoye as the PDP National Secretary, as nominated by the PDP South East Zonal Executive Committee.
The court also ordered Anyanwu to desist from parading himself as National Secretary of the party.
Surprisingly, the Damagum-led PDP has continued to flout the court order by giving undue recognition to Anyanwu as its National Secretary.
On November 7, 2023, the Enugu High Court again reaffirmed its prior order and specified as follows: The interim order compelling PDP to recognize Hon. SKE Udeh-Okoye as the valid National Secretary remains in force until the hearing of the motion on notice on November 27, 2023, or the determination of the Appeal in the appellate court, whichever occurs first.
The plaintiff is granted permission to serve all court orders and processes on PDP and Senator Samuel Nnaemeka Anyanwu through their lawyers.https://sundiatapost.com/why-i-quit-the-pdp-sen-utazi/
The plaintiff is authorized to serve all court orders and processes on PDP Acting National Chairman, Umar Damagum, by posting them at the entrance of the PDP National Secretariat until he acquires legal representation.
An interim injunction prohibits Senator Anyanwu from representing himself or being recognised as the National Secretary of PDP, or engaging in the role, until the motion on notice is heard on November 27, 2023.
