Embattled National chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Uche Secondus, on Friday resumed office barely 24 hours after he handed over to his deputy, Yemi Akinwonmi.
Secondus received a handover note from Akinwonmi at the party’s national secretariat in Abuja, a statement by his media aide, Ike Abonyi, said.
A Kebbi State High Court had on Thursday reinstated the embattled national chairman four days after a Rivers State High Court issued an order restraining him from parading himself as such.
In obedience to the Rivers court sitting in Port Harcourt, Secondus, an indigene of the state, handed over to Akinwonde, who is the deputy chairman of the party (south) in line with the party’s constitution.
At the brief handover, the national chairman pledged to continue to provide astute leadership to the party.
He added: “We obeyed the court order from Port Harcourt. We also obey the one of yesterday (Thursday). This is a party that follows the rule of law, that obeys court orders.”.
The chairman resumed ahead of the extended meeting of the Board of Trustees of the main opposition party, which was slated for 10am on Friday.
