Confusion in court as 2 lawyers appear for PDP in Wabara, others’ suit against INEC

June 19, 2026

There was confusion in the Federal High Court in Abuja on Friday as two lawyers appeared for the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in a suit filed by the Sen. Adolphus Wabara-led Board of Trustees (BoT) against the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC).

The suit, which is before Justice Salim Ibrahim, seeks an order of the court compelling INEC to recognise the Kabiru Turaki-led interim National Working Committee (NWC) of the PDP on its official website.

The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that the BoT and the PDP had filed the fresh suit.

The plaintiffs sought an order directing the electoral umpire to, forthwith, update its records and publish on its official website the interim NWC of the party as forwarded to it by the plaintiffs and its National Executive Committee (NEC).
