An Abuja High Court on Friday ordered the Kawu Baraje-led faction of the Peoples Democratic Party to desist from parading itself as a parallel faction of the ruling party.
The court also recognised the Bamanga Tukur-led National Working Committee of the party as the authentic leadership of the party.
Mr. Tukur and other members of the National Working Committee, NWC, who were elected at the Special National Convention on August 31, had instituted the case seeking to restrain Mr. Baraje and two others from parading themselves as executive members of the party.
The others are the factional deputy National Chairman, Sam Jaja, and factional National Secretary, Olagunsoye Oyinlola. A former Vice President, Atiku Abubakar, who is a member of the faction, was also joined in the suit.
