PDP Declares, Supreme Court Judgement Creates No Leadership Vacuum
The Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, has declared that the judgement of the Supreme Court did not create leadership vacuum in the party.
PDP National Publicity Secretary, Jungudo Mohammed, in a media interaction in Abuja on Friday, said that Abdulrahman Mohammed remains the party’s legitimate National Chairman.
Mohammed said that the apex court’s ruling dealt solely with the legality of the Ibadan convention and did not mention anything about the current National Working Committee.
Mohammed said that there's no vacuum, obstruction, or absence of leadership in PDP that presupposed an interim take over of the administration of the Party by any authority, especially, the board of trustee.
He noted that the leadership structure of the PDP remained intact, lawful, and fully operational under the National Chairman, Abdulrahman Mohammed, and National Secretary, Samuel Anyanwu.
The party spokesperson also dismissed the claims regarding a takeover by the Board of Trustees, BoT, describing such moves as unconstitutional.
According to Mohammed, the PDP Constitution does not grant the BoT the power to assume the functions of the NWC or take over party leadership.
