Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has hailed the ruling of the Court of Appeal, Abuja Division, affirming the Federal High Court’s earlier decisions that invalidated the party’s November 15, 2025, convention in Ibadan.
Gatekeepers News reports that in a press statement on Monday, Chief Dan Osi Orbih, National Vice Chairman of the PDP (South South Zone), described the judgment as a victory for democracy, the rule of law, and the constitution of the party.
He added that the ruling “has once again reaffirmed the supremacy of due process and the necessity for political parties to conduct their affairs strictly in line with their constitutions and the provisions of the Electoral Act.”
Orbih also emphasised that the decision further strengthens the legitimacy of National Caretaker Working Committee of the party led by Abdulrahman Mohammed as Chairman and Senator Samuel Anyanwu as Secretary.
Addressing party members and litigants involved in the matter, he called on all stakeholders to close ranks, embrace reconciliation, and place the collective interest of the PDP above personal considerations.
He urged leaders across the country to “seize this moment to strengthen our structures and restore the PDP to its rightful place as a strong, vibrant, and credible political platform for Nigerians.”
Concluding the statement, Orbih reiterated the party’s role in national politics saying, “The PDP remains a formidable political force capable of providing responsible leadership and a viable alternative for the progress and stability of our nation.”
