The High Court of the Federal Capital Territory, Abuja, has warned key figures in the PDP crisis. The court says they may have ignored its earlier ruling.
So, what led to this? On January 12, 2026, the court dismissed Samuel Anyanwu’s case. He had challenged his expulsion from the Peoples Democratic Party. The ruling stood, but the court now believes it has not been followed.
Because of this, the court issued a Form 48 notice. This notice serves as a strong warning. It tells the parties to obey the judgment or face contempt charges. They could even go to prison.
At the same time, the notice also names the INEC Chairman. This adds a new twist to the case. It suggests the dispute may affect how officials are recognized.
Meanwhile, the PDP remains divided. Different factions continue to clash over leadership. Several cases are still in court.
What happens next? The pressure is rising. The next steps could shape the party’s future and affect Nigeria’s political space.
