LIVE UPDATE: Supreme Court rules on PDP leadership tussle

The Supreme Court will today (Wednesday) decide on the authentic leadership of the People’s Democratic Party, PDP.

The contest is between the Ali Sheriff, who was purportedly removed at the party’s May 21 2016 convention, and the national caretaker committee chaired by Ahmed Makarfi.‎

While the Makarfi faction enjoys the support of most of the organs of the PDP, the Sheriff faction was declared the authentic leadership by the Court of Appeal.
Many members of the PDP including former governors and current lawmakers have since decamped from the party, citing the division in its leadership as reason.
The pronouncement of the Supreme Court today is expected to‎ finally resolve the leadership crisis.

Let me petch my tent here for Observation mood.

#TeamSheriff

Justice will be served.


Sheriff for chairman.


GEJ should stop seeking relevance in PDP, he is a failure.
Makarfi should respect the Supreme Court's ruling and go engage in fish farming.

thought I will never hear of this PDP caucus dispute again but lo its grazing my sleepy eyes again this morning.

may God help them settle and still saty together, in as much they are all criminal,
the existence of a party like pdp will
checkmate any party in power.

To God be the glory for this victory for democracy!

The only true national party may have just been woken up from their slumber.

Too the loser of the battle btw this two at the Supreme Court, I'm thinking Makarfi would lose anyways and then I can't wait for all those who claimed they would retire or leave the PDP keep to their words. Oya: Bode George, Ayo Peterson the rock Fayose etc. I dey wait.

in the real sense.
this are the people who should be fighting political fight

not we the common man killing ourselves for people who doesn't know u.


it should their family members
and other close relative cos
they are the direct beneficiary of politics



don't waste ur life for politicians

BE WISE!

Ok

I really want this to go the way of Makarfi

We need a strong opposition for this scam and yet so clueless Government!

Sheriff has no point in credibility and will definitely sell to the highest bidder.

Is going to be great today.

See their wugly faces.

Fighting to captain a sinking ship.

Na dem sabi....abeg make I go hustle for money to eat bread and beans. Dinner never sure self.

Anybody the judgement favours is only wasting his time
Nigerians will b the one to decide who to vote for in future n not party things again

#TeamSheriff

The CJN will have no choice but to help his dying party out this time around. But whatever the case, that party is dead before its revival.

Which court ruling again on an already DEAD PARTY. Either one of them should go and form a party and move their members to the new ones instead of them trying to kill themselves over ''spilled milk''. Starting afresh may be way better than trying to resurrect the dead PDP.

first to comment. Onnoghen wil deliver dis judgement in favour of Makarfi i guess.

the supreme court should disband the two groups and order the board of trustees to set up a committee to organize a national convention where new leaders will be elected

let's see how it goes

If Sheriff wins, then I can say PDP is dead. Markafi and his group are the hope of PDP. When you carefully look at markafi's group(Wike, Fayose, FFK, peter Obi and others), you see bravery. Unlike sheriff's group (Matthew Iduoriyekwemwen, jimoh ibrahim, governor Dickson).

I don buy land beside ftc on this one

. Just thinking.....
