A High Court sitting in Calabar has granted an interim injunction to restrain the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) from going ahead with its South-South Zonal Congress, which is to be held at Port Harcourt on Tuesday.

The restraining order was as a result of suit instituted against the party by four aggrieved members. The aggrieved members were Kingsley Ntuisong, Raphael Stephen Ntui, Ogar Solomon Aloho and Odama Thomas Odama.

The applicants said they were suing for themselves and also on behalf of some members who emerged as PDP chapter chairmen in Ogoja, Calabar South, Akampa, Yakurr, Odukpani, Akpabuyo, Boki and Obubra local government areas of the state in the party’s Congress that was held on March 21, 2020.

Other defendant in the suit is the PDP National Organising Secretary, Col. Austin Akobundu (rtdz).
