A Federal High Court sitting in Abakaliki, Ebonyi State capital, has affirmed the suspension of Ali Odefa from office as the national vice chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
Odefa was suspended from the party on October 4, 2024 by the executive committee of the party at his Oguduokwor Ward in Onicha local government area of Ebonyi State for alleged anti-party activities.
However, Odefa argued that the suspension is null and void, claiming that those who carried it out were not bona fide ward executives of the party.
In the judgment for suit no FHC/AI/CS/182/2024 between Herbert Ovuta and Odefa, the presiding Judge, Justice Hilary Oshomah, upheld the suspension.
The court ordered Odefa to cease presenting himself as the National Vice Chairman of the party, ruling that his suspension was valid.
