The Digest:

The crisis within the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has moved to the Federal High Court in Abuja, as the faction loyal to FCT Minister Nyesom Wike sues to invalidate the recent national convention in Ibadan and reclaim control of the party's sealed national secretariat.

Key Points:
  • The plaintiffs include acting National Chairman Mohammed Abdulrahman and National Secretary Samuel Anyanwu.
  • They seek to nullify the Ibadan convention and all decisions made there.
  • The suit argues the convention violated three subsisting court judgments.
  • Plaintiffs allege an attempt was made to forcibly take over the party's secretariat.
  • Instead, police and DSS sealed the buildings, denying the plaintiffs access.
  • The suit seeks orders to restrain INEC and security agencies from recognizing the new officials.
  • It also demands protection for the plaintiffs and access to their offices.
As the doors to the party's headquarters remain locked by the state, the battle for the soul of the PDP is fought not in the court of public opinion, but within the hallowed halls of justice, where gavels, not consensus, now shape its future.
