Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) says it will abide by the Court of Appeal judgment affirming affirming Sunday Udeh-Okoye as its National Secretary.

The party’s National Publicity Secretary, Debo Ologunagba, stated this at a news conference on Tuesday in Abuja.

It was reported that the court of appeal had recently upheld the judgment of the High Court removing Sen. Samuel Anyanwu as the PDP National Secretary.

Ologunagba said that as a law-abiding party, PDP would comply with the orders of both the high court and the court of appeal which affirmed Udeh-Okoye as the party’s national secretary.

“There were two court orders, and on Dec. 24, 2023, after consultation with the PDP National Legal Adviser, it was confirmed that we had received the judgment of the appeal court affirming Udeh-Okoye as the national secretary of the party.

“We are a rule of law-compliant party; we believe in this finality of the judicial process.

“We have always respected judicial pronouncements and we will always abide by that culture. The position of the party has not changed as regards that.

“In consistence with our position in the past as a rule of law-compliant party, we are obeying the order of the court.

“We will follow the process and ensure full compliance with the pronouncement of the court of appeal.

“We have received the judgment of the court of appeal that affirmed Ude-Okoye as national secretary of PDP, and as a party, we are bound by that judgment,” Ologunagba said.
