BREAKING: Sule Lamido win as Court bars PDP’s National Convention in Ibadan
Justice Peter Odo Lifu of the Federal High Court in Abuja has issued a final order halting the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) from going ahead with its 2025 National Convention scheduled to take place in Ibadan, Oyo State.
The convention, slated for November 15 and 16, was expected to produce new national officers for the party.
However, delivering judgment on Friday in a suit filed by former Jigawa State Governor, Sule Lamido, Justice Lifu ruled that the PDP must first comply with its Constitution and Convention Guidelines before any national convention can be held.
He therefore barred the party from proceeding with the planned exercise until all requirements are met.
He ordered that the Ibadan convention must be put on hold until Sule Lamido is allowed to purchase a nomination form for the office of the National Chairmanship.
The Judge prohibited the Independent National Electoral Commission (INiEC) from supervising, monitoring or aiding the Ibadan convention until the former Jigawa State Governor is allowed to participate in the convention.
The judge held that the PDP is under strict obligation to adhere to its own rules and regulations by giving opportunities to eligible members to realize their aspirations.
He said that it was wrong of the PDP to have denied Lamido the opportunity to purchase the nomination form for the office of the National Chairman of the party.
