PDP leadership crisis: Court adjourns hearing of appeals indefinitely

The Special Panel of the Court of Appeal, Abuja, established to determine all appeals arising from the ongoing PDP leadership disputes has again adjourned its proceedings indefinitely.
The Chairman of the panel, Justice Ibrahim Salaawu, at the resumption of the day’s proceedings, announced the information to the parties.
The panel had on November 18 adjourned indefinitely awaiting decision of the Court of Appeal, Port Harcourt Division on the sister appeal.
The Judge also held that the court’s decision hinged on a notice of motion for stay from the Supreme Court served on it by the Ali Modu Sheriff faction of the PDP.
The parties were taken aback when hearing notices slated for Dec.15 were served on them when the Port Harcourt appeal was yet to be decided.
Senator Ahmed Makarfi and Senator Ben Obi had obtained leave of the special panel to appeal the judgement of the Federal High Court that legitimised Sheriff as Acting National Chairman of the party.
