The court extended the interim order, restraining the PDP and its leadership from making the move to suspend or expel Wike.
PDP’s lawyer, Johnson Usman, responded to the judge’s order and promised, “We will not tamper with the res (subject matter of the case pending its determination).”
The judge adjourned the suit till Monday, March 6, 2023, as agreed by both lawyers, for the hearing of all pending applications and the substantive matter.
