Abuja, Nigeria – Wahala don burst for PDP as Federal High Court don order dem to suspend their national convention wey dey happen for Ibadan, Oyo State, on November 15 and 16, 2025. This order no be small one oh, as e come from Justice Peter Lifu after former governor of Jigawa State, Sule Lamido, wey don dey vex say dem block am from contesting for chairmanship.
Justice Lifu clear say PDP no fit just waka carry the nomination forms go without including Lamido. E talk say evidence show say dem deny am access to di forms, which na serious wahala for one party wey suppose follow im own rules wey dem set for demself. E mean say di truth dey inside di matter; dem violate di party constitution and dem own internal procedures!
During di judgment, Lifu remind dem say political parties get responsibility to ensure every member fit pursue him political dreams without any wahala (if dem fit manage am). E make am clear say e no go gree make INEC supervise any convention without Lamido as contestant. Na so e be!
“PDP gatz create all di necessary ways to allow members chase dem aspirations,” Lifu talk as e dey hammer di point home. As e stand, dem don halt di planned convention till Lamido go fit get him nomination form. E no go make sense to carry convention go ahead without dem giving am opportunity to campaign for him supporters.
Justice Lifu follow am talk say dem need to allow Lamido enough time to gather in supporters wey go help am push him campaign, proper style! E no go fit be say dem just jump enter convention without making things right first. Dis wahala no be new; PDP dey face plenty internal issues wey don cause seriously drama among di party members.
Besides, di facts wey don drop make am clear say dis whole saga na case of say di party dey fail im people for leadership positions, as dem no dey follow di minimum standard wey dem don set. Na so e be for politics—we sabi say everybody dey fight for im own side, but dem suppose dey fair too (no be every time dem dey gbensh when dem no wan hear di truth).
Now, dem go need to dust dem shoes and rethink dem strategies if dem wan fit come out of dis mess without scoring own ogbonge own goal. E go sweet make we see how dis matter go end.
