PDP Convention: Justice Akintola Saves The Situation With Ruling That Clears ‘Major Hurdle’
Oyo State High Court, Ibadan on Tuesday helped the PDP clear a ‘major hurdle’ and ruled that the party can go ahead with its planned national convention.
Recall that Justice James Omotosho of the Federal High Court, Abuja had ordered the PDP to halt plans to hold a national convention until further notice citing failure to comply with some sections of the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria 1999, as amended, and the Electoral Act of 2022.
The 2025 Elective National Convention of the PDP is scheduled to hold in Ibadan, Oyo State between November 15 and 16, 2025.
Team@orientactualmags.com learned that sequel to an ex-parte application filed by Folahan Adelabi, Justice A. L. Akintola in his ruling on Tuesday issued an interim order allowing the party to continue with its plans to hold the convention without obstruction while also directing the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to attend and monitor the exercise.
Adelabi had asked the court to stop any attempt to alter or disrupt the timetable, guidelines, or schedule for the planned convention.
Justice Akintola submitted that Adelabi presented a compelling case that made immediate judicial intervention necessary.
‘The motion ex-parte has merit and succeeds as prayed’ the judge submitted while also granting temporary reliefs that safeguard the party’s schedule and direct all parties to allow the convention to proceed as planned.
The court later adjourned until November 10, 2025, for hearing on the substantive motion for an interlocutory injunction-Team@orientactualmags.com Do you have any information you wish to share with us?
