A Federal High Court in Abuja, Thursday, nullified the caretaker committee of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) led by Ahmed Makarfi.
Delivering his judgement, Justice Okon Abang ruled that the caretaker committee was illegally constituted and all the actions taken by it, including the appointment of legal representation, is unlawful, null and void.
Justice Abang observed that there were two orders of Federal High Courts in Lagos on May 12 and 20, 2016, which barred the PDP from taking steps on the tenure of Ali Modu Sheriff, adding that the orders were still subsisting when the party held its National Convention in Port Harcourt on May 25.
