The Acting National Chairman of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP), Umar Damagum, has described the recent ruling by Justice Akintola of the Oyo State High Court as a “courageous” affirmation of the party’s constitutional right to conduct its 2025 Elective National Convention.
Damagum made the remarks today at the PDP Board of Trustees (BoT) meeting at the Bauchi State Governor’s Lodge in Asokoro, Abuja.
The PDP Acting Chair said the ruling resolved earlier legal challenges and confirmed that the PDP has fulfilled all legal requirements to hold its internal democratic exercise.
“This judgment is not just a victory for our party, but for democracy itself,” Damagum said.
He commended the judge for standing firm despite what he described as “an era of judicial intimidation and moral compromise.”
