The Supreme Court of Nigeria has reserved judgment in the high-stakes appeals filed by the Kabiru Turaki-led faction of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
On Wednesday, April 22, 2026, a five-man panel of justices led by Justice Muhammad Garba concluded the hearing, stating that a date for the final verdict will be communicated to all parties.
The legal battle centers on challenging earlier appellate court rulings that disrupted the party’s internal administration. Key issues include:
The Sule Lamido Factor: An appeal against a decision that halted the PDP national convention for excluding former Jigawa Governor, Sule Lamido.
INEC Monitoring: A second appeal seeking to overturn a restraint that blocked the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) from monitoring the Ibadan convention.
A representative for the Turaki faction expressed confidence in the judiciary, asserting that the Supreme Court has a history of defending multi-party democracy.
The upcoming ruling is expected to finally determine the recognized National Working Committee (NWC) and end the party's protracted leadership dispute.
