PDP Convention ;Valid and Invalid judgements

THE political rumblings within the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP)is getting worse as the party tries to elect its national chairman.Two federal high courts have given two contradictory judgments on whether the convention will be held or not. The federal high court sitting in Port Harcourt presided over by Justice Ibrahim Watila ruled that the convention should go on with the Independent electoral commission on ground to monitor the process of electing the new national chairman and also ruled that the police and DSS provide security at the convention grounds while Justice Abang sitting in Abuja high Court ruled that the convention be put on suspension. The Port Harcourt judgement came first ,but Justice Abang berated parties to the suit for filing the same suits in two different courts.He also said:"The Port Harcourt Division of this court cannot make an order to neutralise the proceedings of this court.”. Speaking to reporters,governor Nyesom Nwike who is chairman of the convention planning committee said the convention will go on,as all is now set and that the have the backing of the law.
