Governor Seyi Makinde of Oyo State and Taminu Turaki, the factional Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), were seen at the Supreme Court on Tuesday. The court is set to hear the PDP's appeal over a leadership dispute within the party. The faction led by Turaki is contesting a Court of Appeal judgment that nullified its national convention held in Ibadan, the capital of Oyo State. That ruling had invalidated the leadership structure emerging from the convention. Makinde, a prominent PDP governor, attended the Supreme Court session alongside other party chieftains. His presence was widely noted, given his position in the party and his influence in southwestern Nigeria. The appeal raises questions about the legitimacy of competing factions within the PDP and the legal path to resolving internal party conflicts. Photographs of Makinde and Turaki inside the court complex circulated on social media and news platforms. The Supreme Court hearing is expected to clarify the rightful leadership of the party according to its internal processes and court interpretations.
