 SUPREME COURT DIMISES PDP's APPEAL CHALLENGING MERIT OF THE VERDICT 


The Supreme Court has dismissed the appeal of the Peoples Democratic Party Challenging the  decisions of the trial and intermediate courts for lacking  merit.

The Supreme court held that the appeal was held, was an abuse of court processes.

In the light of this, the apex court dismissed the PDP appeal.

In the minority verdict,

Justice Simon Tsammani upheld the appeal of the PDP.

The split verdict was on the matter filed by the former Governor of Jigawa State, Sule Lamido before the federal high court, Abuja.

The trial court ordered the PDP to pause its convention, Sell chairmanship form to Sule Lamido and thereafter conduct its convention.

The apex court frowned at the flagrant disobedience of court orders and forum shopping by the PDP

Disobedience to court order is a disobedience to the entire Judiciary.
