The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has reacted to the judgment of the Federal High Court sitting in Ibadan, delivered on Thursday, which declined to grant the order of mandamus sought by the party.
The statement was signed by the National Publicity Secretary of the PDP, Comrade Ini Ememobong.
In a statement issued shortly after the ruling, the PDP said the court based its decision on the view that granting the application would amount to sitting on appeal over judgments of courts of coordinate jurisdiction.
The party disclosed that it has already briefed its legal team to immediately file an appeal and take all necessary legal steps to advance its arguments and firmly protect its position on the matter.
Despite the judgment, the PDP maintained that the Kabiru Turaki–led party leadership that emerged from the Ibadan Convention remains legally intact and unshaken, pending an authoritative pronouncement by the appellate courts.
The party further urged its members nationwide to remain calm, resolute, and committed, stressing that there is no cause for alarm.
According to the statement, the party’s ongoing “REBIRTH” movement remains firmly on course.
