Re: Court Suspends PDP Convention…
-PDP says Convention still holds as scheduled
Our attention has been drawn once again to another act of judicial
recklessness by the Honourable Judge of the Federal High Court, Justice Okon Abang of the purported suspension of the PDP National Convention holding in Port Harcourt, Rivers on Wednesday the 17 of August 2016.
We wish to however state that a Federal High Court in Port Harcourt
Rivers State has earlier in the day given a comprehensive Order wherein the Honourable Judge specifically ordered the PDP to proceed with the convention as scheduled without hindrance. Indeed his lordship while given the Order mandated all relevant agencies including The Police, DSS
and INEC to cooperate with the Party in organizing a hitch free National
Convention.
You may also wish to note that the Federal High Court in Port Harcourt,
Rivers State gave an Interlocutory Order while Justice Okon Abang,
Abuja, gave an Interim Order. The Order of Port Harcourt is clearly
superior and earlier in time to the Interim Order given by Justice Okon
Abang. In the light of the above, The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) as
a law abiding Party is obeying the Order of the Port Harcourt, Federal
High Court until set aside by any competent Court of jurisdiction.
In view of the above, the 2016 Repeat National Convention of the Peoples
Democratic Party (PDP) will continue as scheduled as we welcome all
Delegates, Party leaders, other critical stakeholders, INEC monitoring
team and other friends of PDP to Port Harcourt, Rivers State while
wishing all our members and supporters a successful National Convention.
