The Federal High Court in Abuja on Tuesday halted the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) from holding its national convention scheduled for November 15–16 in Ibadan, pending a suit by ex-Gov. Sule Lamido of Jigawa.

Justice Peter Lifu also restrained INEC from supervising or recognising the convention outcome. Lamido argued that proceeding with the event would violate party rules and block his bid for PDP national chairman.
