Governor Seyi Makinde’s Kabiru Turaki-led faction of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) has asked the Supreme Court to restrain the faction loyal to Nyesom Wike, minister of Federal Capital Territory (FCT), from conducting its national convention scheduled for March 29 and 30.
This move likely signals a breakdown of peajce efforts as bothif sides had last week announced plans to work out a reconciliation after the battery of court battles.
The Turaki-led PDP faction on Friday filed an appeal against the judgement of the court of appeal, which upheld the ruling nullifying its national convention held in Ibadan, the Oyo state capital, in November 2025.
In the appeal, the PDP faction argued that the Court of Appeal and the Federal High Court lack jurisdiction over the matter.
