A Federal High Court in Abuja has issued an order stopping the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) from holding its scheduled National Convention.
The court’s decision comes after a suit was filed by some members of the party, seeking to halt the convention over alleged breaches of the party’s constitution.
The PDP had scheduled its National Convention for November 15 and 16, but the court’s interim injunction puts the event on hold pending the determination of the substantive suit.
The plaintiffs alleged that the PDP’s leadership intends to violate its constitution and democratic norms during the convention.
The court has adjourned the matter to [insert date] for hearing of the motion on notice for interlocutory injunction.
This development has thrown the PDP’s plans into uncertainty, with the party’s leadership expected to respond to the court’s decision.
More details will be provided as the situation unfolds.
