Wike-supported PDP National Caretaker Working Committee’s National Publicity Secretary, Jungudo Mohammed, stated while briefing reporters in Abuja on Sunday that the convention will go ahead as scheduled, emphasising that the judicial rulings are binding and fully in effect. He said, “Let it be clearly stated that the position of the courts on the leadership of the PDP remains unequivocal. We are aware of moves by this group led by Kabiru Tanimu Turaki, SAN, to approach courts in Ibadan in a bid to secure an injunction to halt the forthcoming national convention. On February 12, the Court of Appeal of Nigeria heard consolidated cases arising from the PDP leadership crisis and delivered judgment on March 9. Consequently, the appellate court nullified the convention’s outcome, declaring the election of Turaki (SAN) and other NWC members legally invalid.
