Iyorchia Ayu has been restrained from acting as the National Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) by a High Court in Benue State.
The order was granted on Monday in response to a motion ex parte filed by Conrad Terhide Utaan.
The court ruled that Ayu should not parade himself as the National Chairman of the PDP, having lost membership of the party, pending the hearing and determination of a Motion on Notice already filed.
Ayu was suspended on Sunday by the executive committee of his Igyorovo ward in Gboko Local Government, Benue State, for alleged anti-party activities.
However, Ayu described his suspension as a nullity, stating that only the National Executive Committee (NEC) of the PDP can suspend him.
