All judgments rising from its members who have appealed to the courts as a result of legal actions instituted by some of its members against the outcome of the party’s last congresses in some states and geopolitical zones, will only be respected and implemented after the Supreme Court must have decided on the appeals, the ruling Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, has told its members.
While reiterating its preparedness to abide by all competent court, the party however, warned its members against frivolous court actions capable of retarding the progress of the Party.
At the end of its National Working Committee meeting, the Party said it has taken note of the various legal actions instituted by some of its members against the outcome of the last congresses in some states and geopolitical zones and warned it will only implement decisions that have passed through all judicial processes as required by law even as it advised members to be guided by the constitutional provisions in this respect.
“The Peoples Democratic Party will continue to uphold the rule of law and shall at all times respect reliefs granted its members by competent courts. However, we wish to make it abundantly clear to all our members that such reliefs must have the backings of the mandatory levels of the nation’s judicial process as required by law and the Party shall exercise its right of appeal to the highest court in the land” the statement read.
