The legal battle over the outcome of the Ekiti PDP governorship primary has taken another turn as the court has postponed the suit contesting Bisi Oluyede’s victory. The case, which was brought forward by aggrieved party members, questions the fairness and transparency of the primary exercise.
During the latest hearing, the judge announced that the matter would be shifted to December 8, allowing more time for all parties to present their arguments and supporting documents. The adjournment followed requests from legal teams seeking additional time to properly prepare their submissions.
Supporters of the PDP in Ekiti are closely watching the development, as the outcome could shape the party’s chances in the next governorship election. While Oluyede’s camp maintains that the primary was credible, opponents insist that several irregularities need to be examined in court.
Political analysts say the delay could either calm rising tensions within the party or deepen divisions, depending on how the case unfolds. Many urge the PDP to resolve internal issues early to avoid weakening its position ahead of the election season.
