Hope of the faction of the Tanimu Turaki-led faction of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) participation in the 2027 general elections has been truncated, following the dismissal of the suit seeking to compel the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to recognise and publish their names on the portal of the electoral commission.

Reacting to the judgement, the PDP led by Aminu Turaki has described the judgement that reaffirmed the party loyal to the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, as victory postponed, insisting that the struggle to regain the party will continue in the appellate level.

Justice Salim Ibrahim of the Federal High Court, Abuja, in a judgement yesterday, held that the suit filed by the Board of Trustees of the PDP led by Senator Adolphus Wabara, was incompetent and lacking in merit and consequently dismissed.
