A Nasarawa State high court sitting in Doma, the headquarters of Doma local government area, has halted the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP)’s congress slated for Saturday, September 28.
Justice Abdullahi Shama issued the interim injunction restraining the party from conducting the congress.
Some aggrieved stakeholders had approached the court to stop the process of electing new executives at all levels by the Francis Orogu-led leadership.
The stakeholder include Senator Mohammed Ogoshi Onawo, representing Nasarawa South at the National Assembly, and his predecessor, Senator Suleiman Adokwe.
Other notable aggrieved members of the party that sought the court injunction are the former Deputy Governor Mike Abdul, retired General Nuhu Angbazo, Hon. Abdulkarim Usman Ombamas, Nathaniel Aboki, Jubril Sabo Keana, Adamu E. Oyanki, and Musa Elayo.
These stakeholders prayed before Honourable Justice Abdullahi H. Shams Shama, seeking to restrain the Francis Orogu-led PDP executives from conducting the congresses.
Justice Abdullahi Shama ruled the injunction will remain in effect until a motion on notice is heard.
The court has set October 3, 2024, for further hearing on the matter.
