Court: Stop Parading Yourself as PDP Chair in Yobe

A Yobe State High Court sitting in Damaturu has granted an
exparte order stopping one Alhaji Sani Inuwa Nguru from parading
himself as the chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in
the state pending the hearing of the plaintiffs/applicants’
motion.

This follows a suit filled by Lawan Gana Karasuwa, who is also
laying claim to the position and 26 others.

The motion order No. YBS/DT/HC/33M/2017 also ordered the PDP,
the Chairman PDP Caretaker Committee, the Inspector General of
Police (IG), the Chairman INEC and the Director General of the
State Security Services (SSS) and the Department of State Services
(DSS) not to recognise or have any dealing with any person(s) apart
from the plaintiffs/applicants until the motion on notice is
heard.

The presiding judge, Justice U.Z Mohammed, who granted the order
on Thursday ordered that the 1st defendant/respondent (Sani Inuwa
Nguru), any other person(s) other than the plaintiff/applicant
(Lawan Gana Karasuwa) is/are hereby restrained from parading
him/themselves as the chairman or state executive committee of PDP
in the state pending the determination of the
plaintiffs/applicants’ motion on notice.

“The 2nd-6th defendants are restrained/prohibited from
recognising or dealing with other person(s) other than the
plaintiffs/applicants pending the hearing and determination of the
motion on notice,” the judge said.
