The Court of Appeal sitting in Ibadan has adjourned indefinitely the case involving the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, over its elective national convention held on November 15 and 16, 2025, in Ibadan, which produced Dr Kabiru Turaki as the substantive National Chairman of the party.
The court also granted the parties leave to resolve the dispute amicably outside the courtroom.
Presiding over the sitting, a three-member panel led by Justice Biobele Georgewill stated that if the parties fail to reach a settlement, they are free to return to the court for further proceedings.
During the sitting, the justices advised counsel to properly guide their clients in order to facilitate a peaceful resolution of the dispute.
The court also urged the lawyers to be mindful of time, particularly in view of the recently released electoral timetable by the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC.
Meanwhile, all counsel in their various submissions aligned with the position of the court on the matter.
The Court of Appeal sitting in Abuja had recently invalidated the PDP elective convention held in Ibadan, which produced Kabiru Turaki, SAN, as the party’s National Chairman.
Also, Justice Ladiran Akintola of an Oyo State High Court sitting in Ibadan had validated the party’s convention held in Ibadan.
