Court extends restraining order over PDP against Wike sanction

On Tuesday, the Federal High Court in Abuja extended the injunction preventing the PDP from suspending or removing Nyesom Wike, the governor of the state of Rivers, who was punished by the party for anti-party conduct.

The court extended the temporary injunction it issued on February 2 prohibiting the PDP and its leadership from taking action against the governor in the form of suspension or expulsion.

The PDP, its National Working Committee, National Executive Council, Chairman Iyiocha Ayu, National Secretary Samuel Anyanwu, and the Independent National Electoral Commission are the respondents in the lawsuit.
