PDP to obey court orders affirming Udeh-Okoye as national secretary

The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) on Tuesday promised to abide by the Court of Appeal judgment which affirmed Sunday Udeh-Okoye as its National Secretary.

The party’s National Publicity Secretary, Debo Ologunagba, stated this at a news conference on Tuesday in Abuja.

The court of appeal had recently upheld the judgment of the Federal High Court, Abuja, removing Senator Samuel Anyanwu as the PDP National Secretary.

Ologunagba said the PDP would comply with the two orders which affirmed Udeh-Okoye as the party’s national secretary as a law-abiding party.

He said: “There were two court orders, and on December 24, 2023, after consultation with the PDP National Legal Adviser, it was confirmed that we had received the judgment of the appeal court affirming Udeh-Okoye as the national secretary of the party.

“We are a rule of law-compliant party; we believe in this finality of the judicial process.

“We have always respected judicial pronouncements and we will always abide by that culture. The position of the party has not changed as regards that.

“In consistence with our position in the past as a rule of law-compliant party, we are obeying the order of the court.

“We will follow the process and ensure full compliance with the pronouncement of the court of appeal.

“We have received the judgment of the court of appeal that affirmed Ude-Okoye as national secretary of PDP, and as a party, we are bound by that judgment.”
