The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has pledged to continue preparing for its national convention despite a court judgment that halted the exercise. National Vice Chairman (South‑South) Emmanuel Ogidi said the party is following due process and will appeal the ruling. He made these remarks in an interview with Arise Television, responding to criticisms from Federal Capital Territory Minister Nyesom Wike and his allies.
Ogidi dismissed Wike’s criticisms, asserting that the party’s actions are guided by its own guidelines. He described the court judgment as “a comedy” and emphasized that the PDP has not deviated from its objectives. According to Ogidi, Wike and other disgruntled members are acting against the party’s interests, displaying arrogance and boasting. He questioned their commitment, stating they are “not PDP members as far as I am concerned.”
The PDP’s decision to appeal the judgment and press on with convention preparations signals a determination to move forward with its internal processes. This development occurs amid ongoing tensions within the party, with some members voicing dissent. The national convention is a crucial event on the PDP’s calendar, and the current impasse could have significant implications for the party’s future direction.
Party leadership has reaffirmed its commitment to due process and to upholding the party constitution. As the PDP navigates this challenging period, the outcome of the appeal will be a key factor in determining how the situation unfolds and what impact it will have on internal dynamics. With the convention hanging in the balance, members and supporters will be closely watching developments in the coming days.
