Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Wike has approached the Federal High Court sitting in Abuja, seeking to restrict the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) from suspending or expelling him.

Respondents in the suit are the PDP, its NEC, NWC, national chairman Iyorchia Ayu, national secretary Samuel Anyanwo, and the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC).

Mr Wike asked the court to declare that none of the respondents could take any disciplinary action on him while the originating summons was being decided.

The governor also got an order of court to use alternative method of serving the 1st through 5th respondents in the lawsuit by posting all relevant court documents on the PDP National Secretariat, Wadata Plaza, Wuse Zone 5, Federal Capital Territory, Abuja.

Other reliefs sought include for the court to grant an order recognising his mode of serving the respondents the court processes as proper service.
