A Federal High Court in Abuja on Tuesday restrained the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, from suspending or expelling members perceived to be loyal to Governor Nyesom Wike of Rivers.

Justice Inyang Ekwo, in a judgment delivered in two separate suits filed by the affected PDP members, held that the fears of these applicants were well founded, and that suspending or expelling them would amount to a breach of their rights to freedom of association.
