The High Court of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) in Maitama, Abuja, has sacked the state and local government executive councils of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Anambra State.
Justice O. A. Adeniyi gave the order sacking the executive councils in a judgment on a suit marked: HC/CV/774/2021 filed by Samuel Anyakolah (for himself and all local government chairmen and ward executives that emerged from the Anambra PDP congress conducted on November 28 and December 1, 2017 under the supervision of Sir Chukwudi, as acting chairman State Caretaker Committee).
Listed as defendants in the suit are the PDP, Chief Ndubisi Nwobu and Uchenna Obiora.
Anyakolah claimed that the PDP arbitrarily imposed state chairmen, executive members and local government chairmen and national delegates on members in its South East zonal congress of March March 6, 2021.
He contended that the congress was held in disregard of an extant list of already inaugurated party officers and delegates that emerged from the Anambra PDP congresses conducted on November 28, 2017 and December 1, 2017 validated by Senator France Bent Ward Congress Appeal Panel report and Ukpai Ukairo Local Government Appeal Panel report.
