For petition dated November 19 and signed by National Secretary Taofeek Arapaja, PDP ask Chief Judge of Federal High Court, Justice John Tsoho, make dem no continue dey assign all di party cases to di same three judges. Di party talk say Abuja Division get 12 judges, yet almost all matters wey dem file or wey dem dey face dey go only these three judges.
Di petition mention how Justice Omotosho stop PDP from holding national convention because dem never follow party rules. Justice Lifu also stop di convention till Sule Lamido, former Jigawa governor, collect nomination form to contest National Chairman.

“We dey plead say no more cases go dey assigned to these three judges, because justice must not only dey done, e must dey seen to be done by people.”
PDP clarify say dem still respect judiciary but dey reason public confidence for future cases wey concern di party.
