The Adolphus Wabara-led Board of Trustees (BoT) of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), has rejected the High Court judgement which dismissed the suit it filed seeking the court to compel the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to obey the extant judgments of the Court of Appeal and the Supreme Court by listing the members of the party’s Interim National Working Committee (INWC).
A statement signed by Senator Adolphus Wabara, Chairman PDP BoT, noted that the action of the court is a direct affront to the superior authority of the Court of Appeal, the supremacy of the Supreme Court, the integrity of the Institution of the Judiciary and the sanctity of the law.
The BoT maintained that it’s determined to take every step within the ambit of the law to ensure justice.
The statement reads, “We received with utter dismay, the judgment of the Federal High Court sitting in Abuja, which in the most inexplicable manner dismissed the suit filed by the Board seeking the court to compel the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to obey the extant judgments of the Court of Appeal and the Supreme Court by listing the members of the party’s Interim National Working Committee (INWC).
“The BoT strongly rejects the decision of the High Court which is a direct affront to the superior authority of the Court of Appeal, the supremacy of the Supreme Court, the integrity of the Institution of the Judiciary and the sanctity of the law.
“It’s rather strange that the High Court went beyond its bounds and arrogated itself powers to make pronouncements over and above the pronouncements of the Court of Appeal and the Supreme Court by recognising the actions of individuals whose suspension and expulsion from the party had been upheld by the two superior courts.
“Equally strange is that the High Court went outside the issues before it to make pronouncements in favour of individuals that were not parties in the case.
“It’s clear that this judgment against the PDP and democracy in Nigeria cannot stand in the face of the law. The BoT is therefore determined to take every step within the ambit of the law to ensure that justice is done in the matter.”
The BoT while urging teeming members and supporters of our party to remain focused, reassured them that it’ll in a couple of days hold an emergency meeting and inform party members and Nigerians on the way forward.
