Court Warning To Leaders Deepens PDP Crisis
A FCT High Court Abuja has issued a warning against Samuel Anyanwu and Joash Amupitan over alleged disobedience of a court ruling.
The notice cautions that failure to comply could lead to contempt proceedings and possible imprisonment.
The action stems from an earlier judgment on party disputes.
The court directed both men to obey its January 12, 2026 decision, which dismissed Anyanwu’s suit challenging his expulsion from the Peoples Democratic Party.
Despite this, the dispute has continued, with conflicting claims over leadership positions. The notice, issued under enforcement procedures, signals a fresh twist in the crisis.
The PDP remains divided into rival factions, each laying claim to control of the party.
One camp insists Anyanwu no longer has legal standing, while another continues to recognise him.
The role of the Independent National Electoral Commission has also come under scrutiny in the ongoing tussle.
With appeals already filed and more legal steps expected, the situation is far from settled. The outcome could reshape the party’s structure ahead of future elections.
For now, the court’s warning adds pressure on key figures to comply with its ruling.
