The Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, has declared an end to factionalism in the Peoples Democratic Party following the Supreme Court’s dismissal of the appeal by the Kabiru Turaki-led group over the Ibadan National Convention.

The court held that the convention was “conducted in disobedience to court orders” and amounted to an “abuse of court process”. The ruling effectively ends the months-long leadership tussle in the main opposition party.
