The Tanimu Turaki-led Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has reassured its members that the party remains legally valid despite a Federal High Court ruling in Ibadan that nullified its Ibadan National Convention.
The assurance was contained in a statement issued on Friday by the party’s National Publicity Secretary, Comrade Ini Ememobong.
The court had refused to grant the order of mandamus sought by the party, explaining that granting such relief would amount to sitting in appeal over the decisions of courts of coordinate jurisdiction.
In response, the party said it has instructed its lawyers to immediately file an appeal and take all necessary legal steps to advance its arguments and protect its position.
The Turaki-led PDP leadership, which emerged from the Ibadan National Convention, emphasized that it remains “legally intact and unshaken” as it awaits decisions from appellate courts.
Ememobong said, “Not withstanding this judgment, our party remains firmly on course. We urge our members to stay resolute and committed there is absolutely no cause for alarm.”
The party reiterated that its Rebirth Movement remains on course.
