BREAKING: PDP BoT Chairman, Faces Suspension

The Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, has suspended the Board of Trustees, BoT, chairman of the party, Chief Adolphus Wabara.
Wabara was suspended by the State Working Committee, SWC, of the party in Abia State.
The decision, according to a party source, was taken during a meeting presided over by the State Chairman, Abraham Amah.
Amah confirmed Wabara’s suspension, stating that he would make the details available.
“Yes it is true, he has been suspended”, Ama said.
This is believed to be a continuation of the power play between loyalists of the FCT Minister, Nyesom Wike and the PDP former presidential candidate, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar.
Wike’s man and former governor, Okezie Ikpeazu has firm control of the Abia PDP.

Court to Begin Hearing ADC Leadership Dispute on September 30

The Federal High Court in Abuja is set to commence hearings on September 30 in a case involving a leadership dispute within the African Democratic Congress (ADC).
The suit, filed by Nafiu Bala, a former ADC Deputy National Chairman, challenges the appointment of former Senate President David Mark as interim National Chairman and former Osun State Governor Rauf Aregbesola as interim National Secretary.
Respondents in the case include the ADC, Mark, Aregbesola, the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), and former ADC National Chairman Ralph Nwosu.
At Monday’s proceedings, plaintiff’s lawyer Michael Agber informed Justice Emeka Nwite that court documents had been served on Mark and Aregbesola through the ADC’s office. The ADC’s counsel, Shuaib Aruwan (SAN), clarified that he represents only the party, not the individual respondents.
Justice Nwite adjourned the hearing, directing that all respondents be properly served with court processes.
Earlier on September 4, the court denied Nafiu Bala’s request for an immediate injunction against Mark and Aregbesola but ordered that all parties be notified to respond.
