IBADAN– The Oyo State High Court has postponed its ruling on a jurisdictional challenge in a case concerning the PDP’s national convention until December 8, 2025, while allowing the political gathering to proceed as planned.
At Friday’s hearing, the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) argued through its counsel that the Federal High Court should have jurisdiction over the case since INEC is a federal agency. However, the claimant’s legal team opposed this, citing constitutional rights to lawful assembly.
Presiding Judge Justice Ladiran Akintola maintained the existing interim order that permits the PDP convention to continue without interference while adjourning the jurisdictional ruling. This decision ensures the two-day convention in Ibadan can proceed while leaving the legal challenges to be resolved next month.
