Ibrahim Umar and 22 others of the Senator Magnus Abe group of the APC approached the court to stop the proposed congresses from holding.

But the congresses scheduled for September 17th is now botched following the order by Justice Letam Nyordee of the State High Court in Port Harcourt, in a suit filed by, Henry Bello, counsel to Ibrahim Umar.

“An order is hereby made that all parties in the matter should maintain status quo in relation to the subject matter of the proceedings in this suit pending the hearing and determination of the motion on notice,” the order read.

The matter was adjourned to September 17 for hearing.
