Justice Abang Suspends PDP Convention by kahal29: 6:04pm On Aug 15, 2016
A Federal High Court in Abuja on Monday stopped the Ahmed Makarfi-led faction of the Peoples Democratic Party from going ahead with its plan to conduct the national convention of the party slated for Thursday.

Justice Okon Abang ruled during the proceedings that lasted eight hours on Monday that the interim order would subsist till the motion filed by the Ali Modu Sheriff-led faction seeking an interlocutory injunction against the convention is heard and determined.

The judge fixed Tuesday for the hearing of the Sherif faction’s motion for interlocutory injunction.

The judge made the order after joining Makarfi and six other members of his caretaker committee as parties to the substantive suit which was filed last month by the Sheriff and members of his faction.

The judge had on July 28 heard Markafi-led faction’s application to join the suit as a defendant and fixed Monday for ruling.

‎The judge overruled Sheriff’s faction’s opposition to the application and ordered that Markafi and the rest of the applicants be joined as the third to the ninth defendants.

Apart from Makarfi who was joined as the third defendant, others comprising, Ben Obi, Odion Ugbesia, Abdul Ningi, Kabiru Usman, Dayo Adeyeye, Aisha Aliyu, were joined as the fourth to the ninth defendants.

Justice Abang in granting the interim injunction on Monday lambasted Ben Obi for allegedly rushing to the Port Harcourt Division of the Federal High Court to obtain an ex parte order directing security agencies and the Independent National Electoral Commission to monitor the scheduled convention.

The judge described as a slap on the court’s face the act of Obi by “secretly” obtaining another order at Port Hacourt to let the convention to go ahead when the ruling of the court on the application filed by him and others seeking to be joined in the suit as parties was being awaited.

Justice Abang said the order obtained by Obi from Port Harcourt was obtained to neutralise the proceedings of the court.

He ruled, “Senator Ben Obi cannot treat the court with levity.

“What is the reason for rushing to another court when the court is already seized of this matter?

He also described Obi’s action as “unfortunate and unlawful”.

He added, “I want to point out that a court of coordinate jurisdiction cannot make an order that will neutralise the proceedings of this court.

“The Port Harcourt Division of this court cannot make an order to neutralise the proceedings of this court.

He said he was therefore inclined to granting the interim order suspending the convention in exercise of his “disciplinary jurisdiction” in order to maintain the integrity of the court.

The hearing of Sheriff’s motion was adjourned till Tuesday.

grin Justice Okon Abang. The Only Judge giving PDP sleepless night since 1900AD.


PDP need to settle Sheriff. Where is Makarfi when PDP could not pay staff or pay their rent in WADATA plaza? Sheriff came, paid all their bills and rescued the party from bankrupt and they think he can lay low just like that? They better look before they leap.

This judge's rulings are always very logical. I think he is one of the best judges at the moment.

“What is the reason for rushing to another court when the court is already seized of this matter?

He also described Obi’s action as “unfortunate and unlawful”.

He added, “I want to point out that a court of coordinate jurisdiction cannot make an order that will neutralise the proceedings of this court.

“The Port Harcourt Division of this court cannot make an order to neutralise the proceedings of this court.

Wicked APC leaders turning Nigeria into one state party.Nonsense.

Obviously, the Judge singled out the weak point - Ben Obi to lambast. Ben Obi, a quiet man, political macho man and talisman of the South East politics since colonial era. grin
