The National Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Kabiru Tanimu Turaki, SAN, on Thursday, February 12, led members of the party’s National Working Committee (NWC) to the Court of Appeal in Abuja for the continuation of hearings on appeals concerning the party’s leadership.
The development was announced via the party’s official X (formerly Twitter) page, which described the court session as part of ongoing legal proceedings over internal leadership disputes.
Turaki arrived at the appellate court complex alongside several prominent PDP stakeholders, underscoring the significance of the case to the party’s national structure.
Among those present were the Governor of Bauchi State, Bala Mohammed; members of the party’s Board of Trustees (BoT); and the Chairman of the PDP in Edo State, Dr. Tony Aziegbemi, who also serves as Chairman of the PDP State Chairmen.
Several former members of the NWC were also in attendance, reflecting a broad show of solidarity as the party seeks judicial clarity on its leadership questions.
