The convention is billed to hold between November 15 and 16
for the purpose of electing national officers for the PDP.

However, Justice Peter Odo Lifu, in his final judgment on
Friday afternoon in a suit filed by former Jigawa State Governor, Sule Lamido,
barred the PDP from proceeding with the convention until it complies with its
Constitution and Guidelines on the convention.

He ordered that the Ibadan convention must be put on hold
until Sule Lamido is allowed to purchase a nomination form for the office of
the National Chairmanship.

The Judge prohibited the Independent National Electoral
Commission (INEC) from supervising, monitoring or aiding the Ibadan convention
until the former Jigawa State Governor is allowed to participate in the
convention.

The judge held that the PDP is under strict obligation to
adhere to its own rules and regulations by giving opportunities to eligible
members to realize their aspirations.

He said that it was wrong of the PDP to have denied Lamido
the opportunity to purchase the nomination form for the office of the National
Chairman of the party.
