A faction of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) aligned with Oyo State Governor Seyi Makinde has expressed optimism that the Supreme Court will ultimately rule in its favour in the ongoing leadership dispute.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶
This was contained in a statement issued on Wednesday by the party’s National Publicity Secretary, Ini Ememobong, in response to the latest development at the apex court.
reports that the Supreme Court had earlier reserved judgment in an appeal filed by the PDP over its convention held in Ibadan, Oyo State, in November 2025, which was subsequently nullified.
A five-member panel of the court, led by Justice Mohammed Garba, announced that a date for the judgment would be communicated to the parties’ legal representatives.
Reacting to the development, Ememobong urged party members to remain calm and hopeful.
He noted that the Supreme Court has historically served as the final refuge for justice, expressing confidence that the judiciary would deliver a verdict that upholds multi-party democracy and prevents the emergence of a one-party system in Nigeria.
“The Court heard the appeals, with all parties adopting their respective processes, and thereafter reserved judgment to a date to be communicated to counsel.
“We urge all genuine and committed PDP members to remain steadfast in the belief that the apex court will deliver a judgment that safeguards multi-party democracy and averts any move toward a one-party state. The Supreme Court has, at different times in our democratic journey, stood as the last hope for Nigerians, even under intense pressure,” the statement read in part.
