The ban on former national chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Prince Uche Secondus has been set aside.
Court of Appeal of Nigeria sitting in Abuja, Federal Capital Territory, nullified the ban.
Also to benefit from the ban that has been lifted are the ex-Rivers governor, Celestine Omehia and one-time deputy speaker of the House of Representatives, Austin Opara.
They were all banned from attending the National Executive Council (NEC) meeting of the PDP or participating in its deliberations or proceedings in any form.
The restriction from attending the PDP NEC meeting was pronounced by the federal high court in an ex-parte order.
That ruling prevented the trio from participating in last PDP NEC meeting that held early 2024.
But on Friday, the three justices of the Court of Appeal of Nigeria unanimously merited the appeal that was filed by the former PDP national chairman, ex-governor and former deputy speaker.
It ruled that the lower court lacked the power to hear such case.
The Court of Appeal of Nigeria therefore, declared the judgment of the Federal High Court null and void.
With this ruling, the appellate court has set aside Justice Inyang Ekwo’s ruling of the Federal High Court in Abuja.
The appellate court ruled that issues related to party members’ attendance at meetings or participation in activities are internal affairs to be determined by the political party, not the court.
In its wisdom, the court held that such issues are not justiciable, meaning they are not suitable for judicial review, and the court lacks jurisdiction to hear them.
