The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has reacted to a Federal High Court judgment stopping its planned national convention, describing the ruling as an assault on Nigeria’s democratic process.
In a statement signed by the party’s National Publicity Secretary, Hon. Debo Ologunagba, the PDP said the judgment does not vitiate its ability to proceed with the convention to elect new national officers.
The party noted the recent Supreme Court judgment affirming the supremacy of a political party in managing its internal affairs and charged its members to remain focused on preparations for the national convention.
“We are committed to the Rule of Law and have directed our lawyers to take immediate action to appeal this judgment,” Ologunagba said. “We remain steadfast in our determination to uphold, defend, and promote multi-party democracy in our country.”
