PDP Acting Chairman Cancels National Convention Amid Legal Dispute

The Acting Chairman of the People's Democratic Party (PDP), Abdulrahman Mohammed, announced the cancellation of the party's proposed national convention in Ibadan, Oyo State. This decision came after a recent court judgment by Justice Omotosho of the Federal High Court in Abuja.

The judgment prompted the party to suspend the convention pending an appeal to seek further clarification on the legal implications. The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) was formally notified of the party's decision.

The PDP emphasized its commitment to upholding the rule of law and due process in its operations.
