Court Stops Bala Mohammed Faction From Holding PDP NEC Meeting
The court has stopped the Bala Mohammed faction from holding the PDP NEC meeting.
Newsone Nigeria reports that a Federal High Court sitting in Zamfara State has declined a request for an ex parte order by a faction of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) led by Bauchi Governor, Bala Mohammed, to hold the party’s National Executive Council (NEC) meeting.
This online news platform recalls that the Bala Mohammed PDP faction approached the court seeking an ex parte order to hold the party’s National Executive Council, NEC meeting.
Ruling on the case, Justice Salim Ibrahim declined the request.
Some governors elected on the platform of the PDP, led by Mohammed, had earlier moved to remove acting national chairman Amb. Umar Damagum.
The move deepened the crisis in the party, as some stakeholders, especially those loyal to the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) Minister, Nyesom Wike, opposed the move.
The Federal High Court in Abuja had also issued an order barring the party from removing Damagum.
The suit by Mohammed’s faction was filed at the Federal High Court in Zamfara State.
