PDP Faction Led by Wike Drags INEC to Court Over Ibadan Convention Nullification

The legal battle ensues as a faction within the PDP, led by Nyesom Wike, files a lawsuit against INEC at the Federal High Court in Abuja. The faction seeks to invalidate the outcomes of the Ibadan convention held in November, alleging violations of existing court judgments.

The lawsuit aims to nullify decisions made at the convention and restrain specific party officials, including the newly elected national chairman. The plaintiff faction claims that the convention was conducted in clear violation of court orders and rules, leading to the expulsion of prominent members.

The court is asked to declare the convention decisions null and void, emphasizing the need for adherence to legal procedures within the party.
