Nigeria: Court orders PDP to shelve convention until Lamido is accommodated as chairmanship aspirant — Africa Links 24

The Federal High Court in Abuja on Friday, ordered the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) not to go ahead with its national convention until a chairmanship nomination form is made available to ex-Gov. Sule Lamido of Jigawa.

Justice Peter Lifu, in a judgment, held that the PDP, by its conduct, had breached its own party’s guidelines and constitution.

According to Justice Lifu, a party is bound to obey its own constitution.

He said the essence of this is to avoid illegality.
