Court sacks PDP acting chairman UCHE SECONDUS

The Acting Chairman of the Peoples
Democratic Party (PDP), Uche Secondus has
been sacked by Justice Hussein Baba-Yusuf of
the High Court of the Federal Territory (FCT),
Maitama, Abuja.
The judge, in a judgment delivered on
Tuesday, ruled that Secondus was occupying
the party’s chairmanship seat illegally.
Justice Baba-Yusuf held that Secondus was
from Rivers State and not Northeast
geopolitical zone, where the PDP originally
zoned the position to.
The suit was filed before the Federal High
court by Ahmed Gulak, a former political
adviser to ex-President Goodluck Jonathan.
The judge gave Secondus 14 days to vacate
the office, while also directing the plaintiff
(Gulak) or any other party member worthy of
the position to take over from Secondus.
