LET’S SET THE RECORD STRAIGHT BEING THE CONTENT OF PRESS CONFERENCE BY PRINCE ADEDAYO ADEYEYE MEMBER OF THE PDP NATIONAL CARETAKER COMMITTEE ON 29TH JULY, 2016

Ladies and Gentlemen of the press:

As you are aware yesterday 28th day of July, 2016, the case filed by Sen. Ali Modu Sheriff and 8 other Plaintiffs against the Peoples Democratic Party and the Independent National Electoral Commission i.e. Suit No: FHC/ABJ/CS/464/2016 came up before Hon. Justice Okon Abang of the Federal High Court, Abuja Division.

The Plaintiffs filed an application to stop the National Convention slated for 17th August, 2016 at Port Harcourt, Rivers State.

When this matter came for hearing yesterday 28th July, 2016, Learned Senior Counsel Ferdinand Orbih, SAN who was briefed to represent the 2nd defendant, the Peoples Democratic Party announced appearance for the said 2nd Defendant PDP.

O.O. Fakunle, SAN also announced appearance for the PDP claiming to have been briefed by one Barr. Bashir Maidugu who is the 5th Plaintiff in the matter.

In addition, members of the National Caretaker Committee applied to be joined as Parties to the case. The application for joinder was filed by Yunus Ustaz Usman, SAN and Mr. Raji Ahmed, SAN.

That was the only application that was argued yesterday 28th July, 2016, and adjourned to 15th August, 2016 for ruling.

Now on the widely reported “ORDERS” purported to have been made by Hon. Justice Okon Abang, it is important to note the following:

a. The motion seeking to restrain the PDP from conducting the proposed 17th August, 2016 National Convention has not been heard by the Court and no date has been fixed for the hearing of same.

b. What was before the Court yesterday was the issue of who is the authentic legal Counsel for the PDP as between Ferdinand Orbih, SAN and O.O. Fakunle, SAN.

The Court in determining the question of Legal representation held that the appointment of O.O. Fakunle, SAN by Sen. Ali Modu Sheriff was acceptable to the Court.

It must be emphasized that at no stage did the Hon. Judge set aside the judgment of Justice A.M. Liman of the Port Harcourt Division of the Federal High Court, which could have led to the dissolution of the National Caretaker Committee.
An Order validating Sheriff as National Chairman could not have arisen from the issue of proper legal representation.

For the avoidance of doubt, the portion of the ruling relating to this is herein- under reproduced:
“Though I have powers to nullify the decision of the Port Harcourt Division that recognized Makarfi Leadership, I will not do so because there is no application to that effect before me. I will, however allow the Court of Appeal to do justice to that”

This is necessary because proceedings of Courts of Law should not be subject of subjective manipulation. We are a law abiding Committee and will always continue to operate within the ambit of the law.

It is not possible in Law that a Judge of a Court of record will acknowledge the existence of a valid judgment and proceed to make the kind of Orders purportedly attributed to him.

Ladies and Gentlemen; it should be very clear to you now that the ruling of yesterday did not at any point hand over the Leadership of PDP to Sen. Ali Modu sheriff, it did not declare the Sen. Makarfi led Caretaker Committee illegal and did not stop the proposed 17th August, 2016 National Convention.

It is disgraceful that pdp has fallen apart just after one year away from the center of power. Everyone would quickly blame federal government for this endless crisis and implosion. Who wouldn't engineer a weakened disorganized opposition? Apc simply are taking dubious advantage of an obvious leadership vacuum and series tactical blunders in a headless party of selfish individuals. Disband it and create a new party.

Wake me up when Bubu allows our judiciary to operate independently.
I see the hand of Bubu in all these fiasco.

This Justice Abang is just breeding anarchy and negative judicial precedence sandwiched with confusion in the Nigeria Judiciary!

PDP internal matter....PDP problem.

APC has nothing to do with it.

I think its our media not Justice Abang that is the problem

I pledge to Nigeria my zoo....

To be an Igbo...the land of the rising sun...

Why can't these people put their house in order and work for the benefit of Nigeria. The way things are going it will be difficult for PDP to win even local government post. Two kings cannot rule a town and where such happens, it is tantamount to destruction.

Nigeria politics is like error.. Dnt believe politicians wordwide

PDP: We are coming back 2019

Me:

Buhari,Tinubu and oshi baba are behide all these, Trying to kill the opposition from within. from change to progress thinking they can deceive us.

Noted

cry of a drowning man.

PDP is dying ooooooo.

Confusion every where in PDP and APC is laughing. God de.

imagine they are even fighting on which lawyer is to represent the case or not
Smh for PDP

OK na

You better put your house in order PDP to avoid confusion in the subsequent elections holding in some states so you can come up with victory as one party not as a divided house

could it be that APC is taking advantage of the situation in PDP by spreading fake rumors all over the press just to distract the PDP faithful? Nawaooooo this people won't stop at nothing... Why would they come up to say that the Markafi led committee have been suspended and the convention has being canceled?

Nigerians should wake up against all lawyers that deliberately misinterprete court judgement and thereby misleading people. Lawyers abroad plead for leniency when they know their clients actually committed the offence but in Nigeria they will claim law and deliberately frustrate the judicial process. That is one of the problems confronting the parties.

PDP did you chop witche in a way that your party is scattering abroad

:::---Whenever judgment favours Fee Dee Fee it is democracy and rule of law but, whenever it against the Umbrella, it is injustice and handiwork of Buhari. I put it to you that; it was Fee Dee Fee that appointed the current crop of judges and judicial officers. Let them perform their legitimate duties without fear or favour. Remember that Ali Modu Sheriff was on his own when your "political prodigal sons" beckoned on him to come rescue, salvage and re-position your defeated, sick and bankrupt party. He gave it a lifeline and your use and dump mentality got activated to excuse him out but, he tactically and "boko-haramly" pays you back in your own coins. Leave Mr. President out of your implosion and pardition. Thanks.
