The Supreme Court has nullified the judgments of the Court of Appeal and Federal High Court, which sacked Senator Samuel Anyanwu as National Secretary of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP), saying he has been reinstated.
The apex Court in a unanimous judgment of a five-member panel said the matters bordering on the leadership or membership of a political party is its internal affair and should not be the business of a Court.
The court proceeded to set aside the decision of Appeal Court in Enugu Division which affirmed the removal of Anyanwu by a Federal High Court in Enugu on 20 December 2024.
The Supreme Court also says that the plaintiff who initiated the suit at the trial court, Aniagu Emmanuel, lacked the necessary legal backing to do so since he did not show how he was affected by who is the National Secretary of the PDP.
The Apex Court also held that the Federal High Court lacked jurisdiction to have heard the matter instituted by Aniagwu Emmanuel
