A high court in Benue state has granted an interim order
restraining Iyorchia Ayu from parading himself as the national chairman of the
Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
W.I. Kpochi, the presiding judge, gave the order on Monday
while ruling on a motion ex parte marked MHC/633/2023 filed by Conrad Terhide
Utaan.
“An order of interim injunction restraining the 1st
defendant Senator Dr. lyorchia Ayu from parading himself as the National
Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) having lost membership of the
party, pending the hearing and determination of Motion on Notice already
filed,” the judge ruled.
“The application is supported by a fifteen (15) paragraph
affidavit to which is annexed three exhibits as Exhibits A1, A2, and B which
are the Applicant’s membership card of the 2nd defendant, receipts for payment
of dues and a vote of no confidence passed on the 1st Defendant/Respondent by
the Igyorov Council Ward of the 2nd Defendant in Gboko Local Government, Benue
State.
“Upon hearing Mr M. T
Assoh of Learned Counsel ably move the application and upon a dispassionate
consideration of the facts placed before me in the pool of the affidavit
evidence, and again, upon the consideration of the issues distilled in the
written address by M.T Assoh of Learned Counsel, it is my candid view that this
is a proper case to grant the interim injunction as craved.
“Consequently, this application is hereby granted in terms
of the reliefs captured in the motion papers as herein before reproduced.
“It is so ordered.”
The case has been adjourned to April 17 for a hearing.
On Sunday, the executive members of Igyorov ward, Gboko LGA
of Benue state, passed a vote of no confidence on Ayu over alleged anti-party
activities.
The party executives also claimed that Ayu worked against
the success of the PDP in his ward and did not vote in the March 18
governorship and the house of assembly elections
