One day before the elective convention of People’s Democratic Party, PDP, a Federal High Court in Abuja ordered the party to stop it is planned convention preparations and sell the form of the chairman to the former governor of Jigawa state, Alhaji Sule Lamido, and screen him.
The seating was presided by Justice Peter Life by 2:12 pm and the judgement added that the tomorrow’s convention of the party will be null and voided if the party failed to adhere with the court judgement and the judge asked INEC to distance itself with the convention.
Sule Lamido who is a former governor of Jigawa and former minister of Foreign Affairs during Obasanjo’s democratic regime and one of the founding fathers of the party has disagreed with the consensus of Northwest Caucus of the party under Zamfara state governor, Lawal Dare in which the caucus unanimously agreed that Tanimu Turaki is the consensus candidate of the chairman of the party that is zoned to northwest, the agreement that resulted in denying to sell the chairmanship form to Lamido.
