 Chief Justice of Nigeria Ibrahim Muhammad has asked three judges to appear before the National Judicial Council to defend their decisions to grant conflicting ex-party orders. The judges had recently issued clashing orders bordering on the leadership crisis in the PDP and issues relating to party primaries ahead of the governorship election in Anambra State. The names of the judges are yet to be made public. Their invitation follows the interrogation of the Chief Judges of Rivers, Kirby, Cross River, Anambra, Jigawa and Imo State, as well as that of the FCT, over varying court orders on the same matter.
