The Appeal Court sitting in Port Harcourt has fixed Thursday, October 28, to hear and rule on the motion for Interim order of injunction brought by the suspended Chairman of Peoples Democratic Party(PDP), Prince Uche Secondus against the PDP and others.
Secondus had through his counsel, Tayo Oyetubo, asked the court to suspend the October, 30th and 31st National Convention of the party and declare him the right person to preside over the convention.
When the matter was mentioned in court, six other members of PDP drew the attention of the court on their application for joinder.
The request was not opposed by the lawyer to Secondus and was subsequently granted by the three-man panel of the court.
But, the defendants’ lawyers including those who joined in the suit opposed the motion for Interim injunction and asked for time to respond to the process.
The three-man appeal panel led by Justice Haruna Simon Tsammani after listening to the argument from the parties, ordered counsel to the plaintiff to serve the process on the defendant’s Counsel within 24 hours.
Tsammani also urged respondents’ counsels to respond within 24 hours and adjourned till 28th of October, for hearing and ruling on the motion.
