Turaki Led Faction of PDP To Appeal Court Judgment 

The Tanimu Turaki-led faction of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP says the National Convention of the Wike-backed party was conducted in contempt of the Court of Appeal judgment, where parties had entered appearances and agreed with the court on how to proceed on the matter.

In a statement signed by its National Publicity secretary, Ini Ememobong, the party explained that the convention was conducted despite being aware of an appeal filed at the Supreme Court challenging the Court of Appeal’s judgment.

While it described the convention as a pre-Easter jamboree of APC sympathisers and members of Wike’s Autocratic Party which it said was mischievously tagged PDP convention, it condemned yesterday's judgment in favour of the Wike-backed PDP.

 The Turaki group disclosed it has directed its lawyers to immediately file an appeal and other relevant applications against the judgment.
