An attempt by the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, to set aside last Thursday’s order by an Abuja High Court, restraining the ruling party from organizing its special national convention on August 31, suffered a setback on Monday.

At the resumed hearing of the suit, two counsels, Jubril Okutepa, a Senior Advocate of Nigeria, and F.N Nwosu, announced their appearance for the plaintiffs, a development that shocked the judge, Justice Suleman Belgore.
Mr. Nwosu based his claim on a letter said to have been written and signed by the plaintiffs.
