JUST IN: Supreme Court to hear appeals on PDP leadership dispute on April 22

The Supreme Court has fixed April 22 for the hearing of two appeals filed by the Kabiru Turaki‑led leadership of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) challenging recent judgments on the party’s national leadership dispute. A five‑member panel of the apex court headed by Justice Mohammed Garba set the date on Tuesday while ruling on applications seeking accelerated hearing. The court granted the requests, allowing a departure from its usual rules and abridging the time within which the respondents must file their briefs.

Lawyer faults Oyo govt for crowning Ibadan obas in absentia

A constitutional lawyer has criticised the Oyo State government over the recent coronation of three Ibadan high chiefs as crown wearing obas in absentia. Governor Seyi Makinde went ahead with the ceremony at Mapo Hall even though the chiefs concerned did not attend. In a detailed legal opinion, the lawyer, Adebisi Adeyemo, argued that the governor exceeded his constitutional and statutory powers by proceeding with a coronation without the physical presence and express consent of the beneficiaries. He maintained that a coronation conducted in absentia lacks the essential elements of traditional and legal validity. Adeyemo said the move undermines established chieftaincy procedures in Ibadanland and could be interpreted as an attempt to politicise the traditional institution. He warned that such an action risks turning a revered cultural process into what he called a hollow political spectacle. The ceremony saw high […]

2027: Support for Tinubu deepens rift in PDP

Fresh tension has erupted in the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, as internal divisions widen over whether the opposition party should back President Bola Tinubu’s re-election bid in 2027 or present its own presidential candidate. A faction led by former minister Kabiru Tanimu Turaki, with the support of Oyo State governor Seyi Makinde, has firmly rejected any plan to adopt Tinubu, insisting it would be “improper” for an opposition party to endorse the flag bearer of the ruling All Progressives Congress, APC. The rival camp, aligned with Federal Capital Territory Minister Nyesom Wike, is more open to supporting Tinubu and currently backs the National Caretaker Committee organising Sunday’s March 29 national convention in Abuja. This has left the PDP effectively split into two blocs, even as reconciliation talks continue and some court cases are expected to be withdrawn if a political […]

Makinde, Wike camps begin talks to save PDP before 2027

The Peoples Democratic Party says it has pulled back from the brink of a major internal crisis as camps loyal to Oyo State Governor Seyi Makinde and Federal Capital Territory Minister Nyesom Wike begin reconciliation talks. Party leaders hope the dialogue will stabilise the PDP ahead of the 2027 general elections. For months, tensions between the two camps spilled into court cases, public exchanges and behind the scenes power struggles, raising doubts about the party’s unity and readiness for future polls. Under growing pressure, both sides are now choosing engagement over confrontation. Speaking in Abuja, factional PDP National Chairman Kabiru Tanimu Turaki said the party’s National Working Committee, aligned with the Makinde camp, made the first moves to ease tensions after the intervention of the Board of Trustees led by Senator Adolphus Wabara. He said the BoT set up a […]

Lamido says Wike backed caretaker holds key to PDP reconciliation

Former Jigawa State Governor Sule Lamido says genuine reconciliation in the Peoples Democratic Party depends on leaders accepting the Nyesom Wike backed National Caretaker Committee.He made the appeal during a Ramadan Iftar with PDP executives and members in his hometown, Bamaina. Lamido described the caretaker committee, led by Abdulrahman Mohammed, as the only stabilising party structure recognised by the Independent National Electoral Commission.He argued that, without first accepting this body, ongoing peace talks between rival camps would not produce lasting unity. The former governor praised FCT Minister Nyesom Wike as a politically shrewd figure who moved quickly when the tenure of the former National Working Committee expired.He said that by the time the NWC’s term elapsed, the only functional national structure left in the party was the caretaker committee backed by Wike. Lamido acknowledged that many PDP members have political […]
