Meanwhile, the Tanimu Turaki-led PDP on Wednesday spoke on the Supreme Court, which heard the PDP appeals and reserved judgment.

The Turaki-led PDP, in a statement by its National Publicity Secretary, Comrade Ini Ememobong, charged all true and uncompromising PDP members to keep their faith alive, in the unwavering hope that the apex court will deliver judgments that will preserve multi-party democracy and prevent the imminent enthronement of a one-party state.

The party said: “The appeals and cross-appeals arising from the judgments of the Court of Appeal, as well as those of the Federal High Court, Abuja Division, delivered by Justices Omotosho and Lifu, were heard today by the Supreme Court.

The Court has reserved judgment to a later date.

“It will be recalled that the Court of Appeal upheld the judgments of Justices Omotosho and Lifu of the Federal High Court, Abuja Division, and consequently nullified the convention of the Party held in Ibadan.

The Court also upheld the suspension of A.K. Ajibade, SAN, and other former officers of the Party, including Sen. Samuel Anyanwu.

“Dissatisfied with the judgment, the Party appealed to the Supreme Court, seeking, among other reliefs, a declaration that both the trial court and the Court of Appeal lacked jurisdiction to entertain the matter, same being a suit emanating from the internal affairs of the Party.

“Also dissatisfied, the Respondents (Sen. Samuel Anyanwu and others) filed a cross-appeal, seeking to set aside the decision of the Court as it relates to the suspension of A.K. Ajibade, SAN, Sen. Samuel Anyanwu, and others.

“The Court heard the appeals, with all parties adopting their respective processes, and thereafter reserved judgment to a date to be communicated to counsel.

“We charge all true and uncompromised PDP members to keep their faith alive, in the unwavering hope that the apex court will deliver judgments that will preserve multi-party democracy and prevent the imminent enthronement of a one-party state.

The Supreme Court has, at several times in the history of our non-linear democratic experience, remained the last hope of Nigeria and Nigerians, even in the face of immense pressure and unimaginable risk.”
