Appeal Court Lifts Ban on PDP Chieftains Attending Party Meetings

By  Milcah   Tanimu

The Court of Appeal in Abuja has overturned the Federal High Court’s orders barring three key members of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) from attending the party’s National Executive Committee (NEC) meetings.

The individuals affected by the previous ruling were former PDP National Chairman Uche Secondus, former Rivers State Governor Celestine Omehia, and former Deputy Speaker of the House of Representatives Austin Opara. The ban had been imposed by Justice Inyang Ekwo.

On Friday, the appellate court delivered a unanimous decision, declaring that the Federal High Court had exceeded its jurisdiction by intervening in the internal matters of the PDP. The court emphasized that decisions regarding party meetings are matters for the PDP to handle internally, not subject to judicial oversight.

This ruling effectively nullifies the earlier orders and restores the ability of Secondus, Omehia, and Opara to participate in party meetings.
