Court Sacks PDP Caretaker Committee In Ebonyi
A Federal High Court in Abakaliki, Ebonyi State, has sacked the Fred Udogu-led Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) Caretaker Committee, adding that the committee as illegal.
The court also ordered the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) not to recognise the purported committee constituted by the PDP national leadership.
It maintained that the dissolution of the state Executive Committee was illegal and cannot stand.

The order followed a suit by Nnachi Okoro, legal adviser to the Onyekachi Nwebonyi-led PDP executive, which was dissolved in November 2020 after Governor David Umahi defected to the All Progressives Congress (APC).
Okoro argued that his purported removal from office by virtue of the dissolution of the state executive, and without fair hearing, was contrary to the party’s and Nigeria’s constitution.
