Just when Nigerians were thinking that the two conflicting orders stopping the national convention of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) billed for Ibadan, Oyo State, between November 15 and 16, were an aberration, another Federal High Court in Abuja last Tuesday gave another order restraining the party from proceeding with the exercise.
Like the two previous orders, the current one by Justice Peter Lifu also barred the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) from supervising, monitoring or recognising the outcome of the convention if held.
The presiding judge, Justice Lifu, issued the order while delivering a ruling in an application filed by a former Governor of Jigawa State, Sule Lamido.
