The Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike, has described the court judgement stopping the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) from holding its national convention as bringing down impunity.
On Friday, Justice James Omotosho of the Federal High Court in Abuja stopped the planned 2025 National Convention of the PDP until the party complies with the statutory requirements of the party, the Constitution and the Electoral Act are met.
Delivering judgement in a suit filed by three aggrieved members of the party, the judge also restrained the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) from accepting report on the outcome of any national convention of the party without following the due process of the law as well as its guidelines and regulations.
Shortly after the verdict, Wike said he is filled with different reactions. He said while the ruling stands as one of the happiest days of his life it is also the saddest because of how unsettled the party is.
