Ahead of a major court ruling on the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) convention, Bauchi State Governor Bala Mohammed on Friday led several top party chieftains to the Federal High Court in Abuja. The move comes as the court prepares to decide whether the party’s planned national convention will proceed as scheduled.

The PDP convention, where new national officers are expected to be elected, has faced legal trouble after a suit was filed challenging the process. Some party members argue that the arrangements for the convention were not properly handled and violated internal rules.

Governor Bala Mohammed and other senior PDP figures appeared in court to show unity and support for the party’s leadership as the case reaches a critical stage. Their presence signals the importance the party places on the upcoming decision and its desire to demonstrate solidarity.

The legal battle has increased internal tension within the PDP, raising concerns about unity ahead of future elections. Party leaders insist that the convention must hold as planned to avoid leadership gaps and ensure proper party administration.

The court’s judgment will determine whether the convention moves forward or is halted pending further review. PDP members and supporters across the country are watching closely, aware that the outcome will shape the party’s direction in the coming months.
