The development followed an advisory by the Court of Appeal in Ibadan, Oyo State, urging both sides to resolve their differences amicably in the interest of the party. The court is expected to hear the two appeals seeking to set aside conflicting judgments earlier delivered by the Federal High Court, Ibadan, and the Oyo State High Court over the legitimacy of the party’s Ibadan convention. Following the conflicting rulings, both factions approached the Court of Appeal in Abuja and Ibadan, seeking to overturn the respective judgments. Ememobong clarified that the Court of Appeal did not issue a final ruling but merely advised the factions to resolve their differences internally. Ememobong added that the court adjourned the matter to allow both factions explore the possibility of reconciliation.
