The defendants in this suit are: Mr. Bashir Ibrahim, a former chairman of PDM, Ifeanyi Igwe, a member of the party and the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC).

The originating summon of the suit was filed before the court in December 2018 by Mr. Frank Igwebuike and other members of the party.

The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that the court on February 11, gave an order restraining Mr. Bashir Ibrahim to stop parading himself as the National Chairman of the party.

The court had given the order following an interlocutory injunction brought by the plaintiffs in the suit, and subsequently directed INEC to recognise Igwebuike as the chairman of the party pending the hearing and determination of the suit. (NAN)
