THE Court of Appeal in Abuja has postponed indefinitely, hearing on appeals relating to the leadership dispute in the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
Justice Ibrahim Saulawa-led three-man panel told parties yesterday that it was suspending hearing in the appeals (three in all) pending the judgement of the Port Harcourt division of the court on another appeal over the same leadership dispute.
The court had on November 17 adjourned to yesterday for the hearing of an application by lawyer to factional leader of the PDP, Ali Modu Sheriff, Akin Olujinmi (SAN), for stay of proceedings pending the determination of the appeal before the Court of Appeal, Port-Harcourt.
Yesterday, it was learnt that the Port-Harcourt division was yet to decide the other appeal, a development that informed the indefinite adjournment.
The appeals are against some decisions by Justice Okon Abang of the Federal High Court, Abuja, which recognised Sheriff’s factional leadership of the PDP.
