A High Court of Gombe State has restrained the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) from enforcing the purported expulsion of Hon. Aliyu Usman Garry, one of the party\u2019s governorship aspirants for the 2027 election in Gombe State.
\n\"\"<\/p>\n

The interim order was issued on Wednesday, November 11, 2026, by Justice Daurabo Luka Dalang of the Gombe Judicial Division in Suit No. GM\/117M\/26.<\/p>\n

The court restrained the PDP, its officials, agents and representatives from implementing, recognising or acting on the purported expulsion announced in a press release dated November 2, 2026.<\/p>\n

Justice Dalang also barred the party from removing, altering or tampering with Garry\u2019s name and membership records in its register or database on the basis of the disputed expulsion.<\/p>\n

The judge further directed the PDP not to prevent Garry from exercising his rights and privileges as a party member, including participating in lawful party activities, meetings and programmes.<\/p>\n

In addition, the court ordered all parties to maintain the status quo ante bellum, particularly preserving Garry\u2019s membership status as it stood before the announcement of his purported expulsion.<\/p>\n

The interim injunction will remain in force pending the hearing and determination of Garry\u2019s Motion on Notice for Interlocutory Injunction.<\/p>\n

The court directed that the application be heard expeditiously and adjourned the case until November 24, 2026.<\/p>\n

Garry\u2019s legal team was led by Senior Advocate of Nigeria, Eko Ejembi Eko, whose brief was held by Celestina Yauta.<\/p>\n

The ruling does not amount to a final determination of the legality of Garry\u2019s expulsion. Rather, it temporarily prevents the PDP from taking steps to enforce the disputed decision until the court determines the pending application.<\/p>\n

Garry is among the political figures seeking the PDP ticket for the 2027 Gombe State governorship election.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
