Court Halts PDP National Convention Pending Determination of Lamido’s Suit

The Federal High Court in Abuja has issued an order restraining the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) from proceeding with its planned National Convention, pending the determination of a substantive suit filed by former Jigawa State Governor, Sule Lamido.

In its ruling, the court also directed the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to refrain from participating in any activity related to the convention, whether it is scheduled to take place in Ibadan or at any other location across the country.

The court’s directive effectively suspends the PDP’s convention plans until the legal case brought forward by Lamido is resolved.
