Supreme Court to hear PDP leadership dispute April 22

The Supreme Court will hear the PDP's leadership dispute case on April 22, 2026, after the Kabiru Turaki-led faction applied for accelerated hearing. Counsel Chris Uche requested a shorter timeline to fast-track the appeal challenging a Court of Appeal judgment. The court granted the application and gave respondents, including INEC, 5 days to file their briefs. All processes must be submitted by April 21. A separate case involving Sule Lamido was also scheduled for the same date. PDP urged members to remain steadfast, expressing hope the court would deliver judgment upholding democratic principles. What does this leadership dispute mean for your political alignment and the upcoming 2027 elections?
