Court Stops Wabara’s Suspension As PDP BoT Chairman

The conflict between the Abia State chapter of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and the National Chairman of the Board of Trustees, Senator Adolphus Wabara, has escalated to a legal showdown.

The Abia State High Court in Obehie, Ukwa West LGA, has issued an order halting the enforcement of Wabara’s suspension as BoT Chairman.

Justice L.T.C. Eruba, who presided over the matter between Adolphus Wabara and Abraham Amah, restrained Abraham Amah from laying claims to the Abia State chairmanship of the PDP and also restrained him from enforcing the said suspension of Wabara.

In the suit marked HUK/8/2025, Wabara is seeking the order of the court to restrain the defendant from enforcing the purported suspension.

Granting the prayers of the claimant, the court ordered: “The defendant is restrained from enforcing the suspension of the claimant/applicant from the Peoples Democratic Party, or in any way affecting his position as the Chairman, Board of Trustees of the PDP till the motion on notice is determined.”

Amah, while announcing Wabara’s suspension, accused the BoT Chairman of anti-party activities, citing praises for Governor Alex Otti’s performance as one of Wabara’s alleged sins.

Meanwhile, a group, PDP Frontiers for Change and Progress, has denied the claims made by a former Commissioner for Information, Abia State, John Okiyi Kalu, where Okiyi alleged that Adolphus Wabara held a secret meeting with Governor Alex Otti in London to discuss Otti’s possible defection to the PDP.

The National Coordinator of the PDP pro-group, Mr Emeka Yellow Ikpegbu, challenged the former commissioner to provide evidence of the alleged Wabara-Otti London meeting.
