They had approached the court to challenge the processes which led to the emergence of Ambassador Akawor as the Chairman of the party in Rivers State and other executives during the congresses.
The exparte order also restrained the PDP and Independent National Electoral Commission from recognizing Amb Desmond Akawor as Chairman of Rivers State PDP, pending the determination of the motion on notice.
