The Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, in Delta State has hailed the Supreme Court’s judgment, which affirmed the ruling by the Court of Appeal that nullified the Ibadan Convention.
Delta State PDP Publicity Secretary, Chief Kingsley Akpos Oturubo, said the Supreme Court’s judgment is a testament that public opinion cannot override the rule of law.
The PDP said, “The apex court’s decision has finally settled the lingering PDP leadership dispute.”
According to the PDP, “It is now time to reposition our party. Fellow Deltans, PDP is alive, stronger, and better than ever before. We are ready to reclaim our mandates through the ballot come 2027.
“We know that Deltans have faith in our party. We therefore appeal to the people of Delta State to renew the social contract once again with our party. PDP is the only party that has provided true democracy to the people.
“Under our governments, democracy thrives, and the people reap the dividends of democracy. PDP is ready once again to provide good governance to the now beleaguered Deltans. Of course, we have never disappointed the electorate. 2027 is not going to be different. With your support, we shall win the race and return the lost glory to the people.”
The PDP urged its members in other political parties to return to the umbrella.
“As for our members on the other divide, we are going to be magnanimous in victory. We plead with you to join us for the journey ahead. PDP remains your home, and your interests will surely be secured.
“This party, being the only truly democratic platform in the country, will not treat its members like political orphans.
“We therefore call on our members to join us immediately while time is ticking for us to rebuild the party going forward and to recover all our mandates come 2027.
“The Delta State chapter of the PDP heartily congratulates the members of the National Working Committee led by Abdulrahman Mohammed and the National Secretary, Sen. Samuel Anyanwu.
“Your victory is a clear testimony that those who operate on the side of the law will surely win the race, no matter the challenges.
“This victory reinforces Nigerians’ faith in our dear party. We commend your resilience and dedication to the party over time, which has led to this achievement.”
