Abuja Court Rejects Call to Halt PDP Local and State Congresses in Kaduna

Must Read

Sure, let’s rewrite the blog post so it’s easy to understand:

A Federal High Court in Abuja did not agree to stop the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) from having their planned Local Government and State Congresses in Kaduna State.

The court also said no to a request to stop the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) from watching how the Congresses are done. These Congresses are for picking new leaders for the party at local and state levels.

Judge Peter Lifu said no to stopping the elections when he made his decision about a request from six unhappy PDP members from Kaduna State.

The judge listened to the unhappy members and their lawyer, Mr. Affis Matanmi. After listening, the judge decided not to allow their request to stop the Congresses.

However, the judge told the party and INEC to wait and not do anything more about the Congresses for now because there is still a case against them.

The case is called FHC/ABJ/CD/1144/2024, and it was started by six people who say they are members of the party in Kaduna State. Their names are Sheu Isa Dan Ina, Mutari Shuiabu, Yusuf Suleiman, Nura Waziri, Malam Mansur Alasan, and Jaafar Abubakar.

In this case, PDP, the PDP Kaduna State chapter, and INEC are the ones being taken to court.

Judge Lifu has scheduled August 27 for a hearing where he will listen to a formal request for an temporary stop of the Congresses by the unhappy party members.
