ANYIM TAKES OGBEH, PDP CHIEFS TO COURT
 The
festering feud between the Senate President, Anyim Pius Anyim, and the National Chairman of the ruling Peoples
Democratic Party (PDP), Chief Audu Ogbeh, raged further yesterday. From the court of public opinion and the police,
Anyim yesterday proceeded to the court of law to obtain sanction against the party chairman for allegedly making
an illegal demand of N120 million from him for the convocation of a political seminar. Ogbeh, on the other hand,
also yesterday threatened to head for the court to clear his name from what he said were libelous publications
against him. (Guardian)
