BREAKING: Police seal off venue of PDP National Convention in PH



Barely four hours to the commencement of the Peoples’ Democratic Party (PDP) National Convention in Port Harcourt, Rivers State, armed policemen has sealed off the Venue of the convention, sources confirmed.

It was gathered that all roads leading to the Old Presidential Lodge and the Deputy Governor Lodge are now blocked with Armoured Personnel Carrier (APC).

The sources added that the Rivers State Government House is “partially sealed”.

They claimed to be obeying Abuja Court Order, which INEC said it had not seen as at yesterday’s night.

NEWSVERGE reports that Justice Okon Abang, of a Federal High Court in Abuja, Nigeria’s capital, had suspended the convention stating that the suspension was in the interest of justice to both factions in the party in a suit pending before him and also to curb the excesses of some parties in the suit and to serve as a disciplinary action against those treating the court with levity.

In another ruling, Justice Ibrahim Watila of a Federal High Court in Port Harcourt, Rivers State, had restrained the police, the Department of State Services and the electoral body from interfering or stopping the Port Harcourt convention.

The injunction, which was also gotten from the court by Senator Ben Obi, also ordered the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to supervise the convention.

The court on Monday restrained the Inspector General of Police, Commissioner of Police in Rivers State, Director of the Department of State Security Service, (DSS), the Director DSS Rivers State and the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) from interfering in the conduct of the party’s convention.

Meanwhile, the Abuja Judge held that Senator Obi ‘secretly went to Port Harcourt’ to obtain the said order when he knew he was a party seeking to be joined in the legal action filed by the Senator Ali Modu-Sheriff’s faction.

Sheriff’s faction had filed a case with the court to stop the Port Harcourt convention days after another court upheld his leadership of the PDP.

“Any court of coordinate jurisdiction which makes it a habit to grant ex parte injunctions against decisions made by a sister court is on its own,” he said.

In the case, Senator Sheriff had challenged the legality of the planned PDP convention and requested that the court should stop it on the grounds that it was being organised by a body not known to the law.

After suspending the convention, the court adjourned to the August 16 of for continuation of hearing.

Leadership crisis had deepened in the opposition party in May, after some members of the party removed Senator Sheriff as the party’s chairman and set up a caretaker committee to organise another convention where its principal officers would be elected.

After his removal, Senator Sheriff has continued to lay claims to the leadership of the party, saying that a court had issued an order suspending the convention before it was held.

He has obtained a court ruling upholding his leadership.

On Sunday, however, Senator Sheriff said he had received recommendations from the party’s reconciliation committee, but said he had also made his own demands which he would stand on.

Part of his demands, he said, was for the planned national convention to be shelved while arrangements should be made to hold a convention in Abuja that will be transparent.

After the court in Port Harcourt gave its ruling on Monday, the Ahmed Makarfi’s faction published a statement welcoming Party leaders, delegates, members, supporters, invited guests and observers to the planned National Convention.

Sherifatu was sleeping in his house when egbon Peter and Mr Wike went and picked him to install which was not even their job. The 2 were forming Vandan then thinking they have arrived.

Now they said it is bubu alias baba Sarah abi wetin dem dey call am handiworky.

Jokes apart, i don't like this at all. They messed up with their plethora of court cases. They need to get their acts together to be able to put APC on their toes.

Opposition is vital for the govt in power to remain sensible and focused

These judges too are not helping matters. The judge in Abuja is acting Sheriff's script while the one in PH is in Wike's pocket.

This is not right.....

AWONEYAN:
This is not right.....

Actually, that is the right thing to do considering the conflicting court orders and the impending chaos that may likely happen at the convention. The police force must not be a party to the flagrant disregard of court orders. PDP should simply postpone their convention and appeal the judgement of the Abuja FHC. They are now the major opposition party in Nigeria and they must learn to behave responsibly.

Dem go soon remind you of Agatu.

These people think they can shake off Sherriff after using him to financially revive the party. I laugh in Kanuri accent

While I want the ruling party to be kept on its toes by a vibrant opposition, it just cannot be PDP, the same party that failed to perform despite all the years and resources they had spent and looted.

In this light, I rejoice at the downfall, commotion, confusion, and impending elimination of the PDP.

Opposition is vital no doubt- what is stopping other parties from forming a merger and giving APC a run for her money?? What's stopping PDP from doing same??

A formidable Opposition is vital yet PDP did all within her power to frustrate the emergence of APC both in court and through INEC.

Whatever it is, I don't feel sorry for PDP, lai lai. I can't forget in a hurry what they put us through.

Make dem change name start from scratch or make other parties merge fight APC, simple. PDP will NEVER and should NEVER rise again!
