The Court of Appeal in Abuja is set to deliver judgment on multiple appeals challenging the outcome of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) national elective convention held in Ibadan in November 2022.
The disputed convention, conducted on November 15 and 16, 2022, has been the subject of prolonged legal battles within the opposition party.
A total of nine appeals have been consolidated before the appellate court, all questioning the validity and legitimacy of the convention and some of the party’s leadership decisions that followed.
Several PDP leaders from opposing factions were present in court on Monday ahead of the judgment.
Among those sighted were former Minister of Special Duties Kabiru Tanimu Turaki and another faction led by Abdulrahman Mohammed.
Also present was PDP National Secretary Samuel Anyanwu, who was seen exchanging pleasantries with Turaki inside the courtroom.
The ruling is expected to clarify lingering disputes surrounding the party’s internal leadership structure and could have implications for the PDP’s preparations ahead of future elections.
