A High Court sitting in Gboko, Benue State, on Thursday restrained the Peoples Democratic Party from conducting the forthcoming congress scheduled for Saturday, August 10, 2024, in six local government areas. The order was signed by Justice J. M. Ayua in a motion ex parte brought before the court.
Senator Orker Jev, Terseer Tsumba, Aondoyina Grace, Tergun Tsegba, and 13 others are the applicants in the originating summons. The applicant’s counsels, F.T. Anongo and others prayed for a restraining order preventing the party from proceeding with local government congresses until it determined the reason the ward congress scheduled for July 27, 2024, did not take place in the affected areas. The affected local government areas include Buruku, Gboko, Guma, Kwande, Ushongo, and Konshisha.
The defendants in the suit are the Peoples Democratic Party, its acting national chairman, national organising secretary, and the state chairman of the party, John Ngbede. “It’s hereby ordered that respondents, their agents, servants or privies are restrained in the interim from conducting local government congress election scheduled from 10/8/24 in only six local governments in Benue State,” the restraining order reads. The court has fixed August 18, 2024, for further hearing of the motion.
