Court Sacks PDP Acting Chairman, Secondus

An Abuja High Court on Tuesday sacked the acting National Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Chief Uche Secondus, from office.

The presiding judge, Justice Hussein Baba-Yusuf, in his judgment, held that the position of the acting National Chairman of the party was zoned to the North-east and therefore cannot be occupied by Secondus.

Justice Baba-Yusuf while ruling on the suit filed by former Special Adviser to former President Goodluck Jonathan on Political Affairs, Ahmed Gulak, agreed with him that the defendant (Secondus), was occupying the position of the acting National Chairman of the party illegally.

He therefore ordered that Secondus should vacate the office within 14 days and said that the plaintiff or any other party member worthy of that position should assume the position of the acting national chairman of the party.
