The Court of Appeal has upheld the decision of the Federal High Court, effectively halting the planned national convention of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
The appellate court dismissed the appeal filed by the faction led by Kabiru Tanimu Turaki, confirming that the Turaki-led group cannot proceed with the convention.
In addition, the court awarded a cost of ₦2 million against the appellants, including Turaki and others, further reinforcing the legal setback for the faction.
This ruling consolidates the authority of the Mohammed-led National Working Committee and signals a significant development in the ongoing leadership dispute within the PDP, ahead of upcoming political contests.
