Zamfara Court Rejects Ex Parte Order in PDP Crisis, Halts NEC Meeting. 

The internal crisis within the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has deepened as a Federal High Court in Zamfara State has refused to grant an ex parte order sought by the faction aligned with Governor Bala Mohammed, the chairman of the PDP Governors Forum.

The ruling, delivered on Tuesday, prevents the faction from convening a National Executive Council (NEC) meeting, intensifying tensions within the party.

According to reports, the Bala Mohammed-led faction had sought the court’s intervention to proceed with the NEC meeting, amidst ongoing efforts to unseat the party’s acting national chairman, Ambassador Umar Damagum.

However, opposition from party members loyal to Federal Capital Territory Minister Nyesom Wike has created a major rift within the PDP leadership.

Earlier attempts to remove Damagum were stalled by a Federal High Court in Abuja, which issued an order blocking his ouster. This latest development further complicates the leadership crisis, with stakeholders from both sides vying for control ahead of key party decisions.

As the crisis unfolds, the PDP faces increasing internal division, potentially affecting its political strategies and cohesion in the lead-up to future elections.
