‘Victory for democracy’ — PDP hails appeal court’s verdict nullifying sack of its executives in Anambra

The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has described the appeal court judgement nullifying the sack of its executives in Anambra state as a “victory for democracy”.

The appeal court nullified the judgment of the federal capital territory (FCT) high court which ordered the sack of the Anambra PDP executive committee.

In a statement on Friday, Kola Ologbodiyan, PDP spokesman, said there are certain people who are seeking to distract the party ahead of the governorship election in Anambra.

“The PDP describes the judgement as victory for democracy and the majority of the people of Anambra state who are fully rallying with the PDP and our governorship candidate, Valentine Ozigbo, in their quest to entrench a purposeful government in the state,” he said.

“This ruling gives us comfort that the PDP and our candidate, Valentine Ozigbo are on the right side of justice because the judgment that has just been set aside is the superstructure upon which certain individuals who did not participate in our primary are seeking to distract our party and the people of Anambra state ahead of the election.

“With this ruling, the PDP is confident of justice in other matters pending in court, and urges our teeming members and supporters to remain united in our determination to work with the people of Anambra to achieve their aspiration which they have vested in our party and candidate, especially as we set to commence a robust campaign in Anambra state.”
