Patience Jonathan panics as court suspends Bayelsa PDP chairman

First Lady, Dame Patience Jonathan, is in panic mood, following the suspension of the Chairman of Bayelsa State Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Colonel Sam Inokoba (rtd), by a Federal High Court in Abuja.
Inokoba is Patience Jonathan’s ‘stooge’ in the state PDP who she intends to use to deny Governor Seriake Dickson the party ticket for the governorship election.
Justice Valentine Ashi ordered Inokoba to stop parading himself as the chairman, pending the determination of the motion of notice before the court.
The embattled Inokoba had earlier been suspended by the state chapter of the PDP over financial recklessness.
Since then, he had refused to vacate office, insisting that it was only the National Chairman, Alhaji Adamu Mu’azu, who could suspend him.
Following the impasse, seven members of the party in the South-South state – Cleopas Moses, Godspower Kuku, Richard Perekeme, Faith Opene, Alfred I. Atiegha, Numomikari Walter and Ikpi Patterson – went to court, seeking, among other reliefs, an order of interim injunction restraining Inokoba, his agents, privies, or appointees from parading himself as Bayelsa State PDP chairman, pending the determination of the motion on notice.
Justice Ashi ordered that the “interim order of injunction earlier granted on March 23 is hereby declared to subsist and shall remain in force as binding on the defendants pending the hearing and determination of the motion on notice.”
