The Court of Appeal in Abuja has adjourned indefinitely the hearing into the leadership crisis rocking the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
A three-man panel of justices led by Justice Ibrahim Saulawa, suspended hearing on the matter to await the outcome of a related case pending before another court in Port Harcourt, the Rivers state capital.
The decision followed a motion filed by the Ali Modu sheriff faction of the party.
The group’s counsel, Akin Olujinmi, asked the court not to attend to the suit filed by the senator Ahmed Markafi-led faction.
The defense counsel’s argument was based on the fact that the Port Harcourt division of the court has already reserved judgement on the matter.
In that suit, the appellants are challenging a verdict that Justice Okon Abang of the Federal High Court in Abuja delivered on June 30, which recognized Sheriff as national chairman of the party.
