The Supreme Court on Thursday referred back to the Court of Appeal, Abuja, all pending cases relating to the dispute over the leadership tussle between the Ali Modu Sheriff and Ahmed Makarfi factions of the Peoples Democratic Party.
The appeals which the apex court referred back to the Court of Appeal have to do with questions bordering on which of the factions of the party has the authority to instruct lawyers to represent the party in a pending case before Justice Okon Abang of the Federal High Court, Abuja.
The five-man panel of the apex court led by the Acting Chief Justice of Nigeria, Justice Walter Onoghen said in its ruling after stricking out all pending appeals relating to the candidacy of the PDP for the Saturday’s governorship election in Ondo State.
