PDP Lawyers Appear in Court Against INEC in Abuja
On Friday, two lawyers appeared for the People's Democratic Party (PDP) in a lawsuit filed by Senator Adolphu Wabara and others against the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) at the Federal High Court in Abuja. The suit, presided over by Justice Salim Ibrahim, seeks an order to compel INEC to recognize the Kabiru Turaki-led interim national working committee (NWC) of the PDP and to update its records accordingly.
The plaintiffs, including Wabara and other notable PDP members such as former governors and ministers, filed the suit to ensure that the interim NWC is acknowledged on INEC's official website. The case was marked as FHC/ABJ/CS/1159/2026 and was filed on June 4.
Chief Gordi Uch, SAN, announced the appearance of eight plaintiffs, while the PDP faction led by Turaki and other prominent members were present in court. The proceedings were marked by some confusion regarding the representation of the PDP.
