Supreme Court Nullifies Abiodun Backed PDP Ibadan Convention, Dismisses Turaki-Led Appeal

The Supreme Court has dismissed the appeal filed by the Taminu Turaki-led National Working Committee of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).

The majority judgment dismissed the appeal for lack of merit.

Delivering the majority judgment, Justice Stephen held that the national convention held in Ibadan, Oyo State, on November 15 and 16, last year, was in defiance of an existing judgment of the Federal High Court, delivered by Justice James Omotosho

The apex court berated the Turaki-led group for going on to another court of coordinate jurisdiction to secure an order, instead of going on appeal.

It described the move as an abuse of court process.

The majority judgment adds that any litigant who engages in the act of abuse of court process does so at his or her own peril.
