Justice Peter Lifu of the Federal High Court in Abuja has issued a final order stopping the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) from proceeding with its 2025 National convention scheduled for Ibadan, Oyo state.
Delivering judgement in a suit filed by former Jigawa state governor, Sule Lamido, Justice Lifu barred the PDP from proceeding with the convention until it complies with its Constitution and Guidelines on the convention.
He ordered that the convention must be put on hold until Sule Lamido is allowed to purchase a nomination form for the office of the National Chairman.
The judge further prohibited the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) from supervising, monitoring or aiding the convention until the former Governor participates in the convention.
Earlier, PDP governors after a meeting in Bauchi yesterday night, insisted that the party’s 2025 National Elective Convention in Ibadan will be held as scheduled.
