Members of the panel at the Abuja Division of the Court of Appeal hearing the Ondo Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) candidacy crisis appeals have disqualified themselves from hearing the cases.
Justices Jumai Sankey, E. Agim and O.E William-Dawudu constituted members of the panel.
The panel withdrew from the cases after a petition by one of the respondents, Biyi Poroye claimed that Justice Sankey has been biased and likely to be compromised.
Poroye also alleged that the President of the Appeal Court, Justice Bulkachuwa has been compromised to deliver judgement in favour of Eyitayo Jegede.
Justice Sankey ordered that the case files be returned to the President of the Court of Appeal, Justice Zainab Bulkachuwa, for re-assignment to another panel.
A new panel will be constituted to prosecute the appeals against the orders made by Justice Okon Abang of the Federal High Court.
