The postponement which according to him is pursuant to Section 35(3) (b) of the constitution of the People’s Democratic Party which empowers him to summon and preside over party meetings in the absence of the national chairman.
He added that party’s attention was drawn yesterday evening to a court order which purports to restrain its National Chairman, Prince Uche Secondus, from summoning and presiding over the meetings of the organs of the party.

He disclosed that the decision is in the overall interest of the Peoples Democratic Party and further decisions will be taken after wide and extensive consultations.
