Embattled factional PDP Chairman, Ali Modu Sheriff, has approached the Federal High Court Abuja to apply for an injunction restraining PDP National Caretaker committee and INEC from holding the party's National Convention in Port Harcourt, Rivers state on August 17th.
Sheriff, in the suit, is also seeking the court to grant an ancillary order compelling the police to enforce the interlocutory injunction if granted.

No date has been fixed for hearing of the case. Other defendants in the case are Olisa Metuh, Wale Oladapo, Dennis Alonge-Niyi, Alhaji Bashir Maidugu, Hanatu Ulam, Lawa Dutsima Anchi and Okey Nnadozie.
The plaintiffs had filed the substantive suit on July 4, 2016, saying that by virtue of the PDP’s Constitution, they must remain in office till 2018.
The Ahmed Makarfi-led Caretaker Committee of the party had on July 14 announced August 17 as the date for the party’s national convention.
The Sherriff faction therefore on July 20 filed an interlocutory application asking the court to stop the party from going ahead with the planned national convention pending the determination of their substantive suit.
