The Rivers State division of the Appeal Court in Port Harcourt has dismissed the suit filed by the embattled National Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) seeking to stop weekend’s convention of the party.

In a unanimous judgement delivered by the appeal panel led by Justice Haruna Simon Tsammani, the court okayed the convention slated for Sunday October 31st, 2021 in Abuja.

The panel ruled that Secondus’ application was only aimed to distract the party from going on with the convention to elect new officers for the party.
