A former National Publicity Secretary of the PDP, Olisah Metuh, says he will appeal the decision of the Federal High Court that denied his application for trial adjournment.
Metuh made the announcement in court on Tuesday in Abuja through his Counsel, Mr Emeka Etiaba (SAN).
Metuh had requested for records of proceedings of the court for Nov. 4 and Nov. 5 when his applications for adjournment were made.
Etiaba said that Metuh was seeking an adjournment to give the court bailiff time to serve former President Goodluck Jonathan with a subpoena for him to appear and give evidence in the matter.
“We are having regard that the witness on subpoena is a vital witness for the defendant, whose evidence will determine whether the defendant himself will give evidence or not.
“We ask for an adjournment to enable the former president to be served so that he can appear in court as a witness.
