Appeal Court Ruling Is An Opportunity To Rebuild PDP – Wike

Nyesom Wike

Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike, has welcomed the Court of Appeal judgment voiding the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) convention held in Ibadan on Nov. 15 and Nov. 16, 2025. Recall that the appellate court recently ruled that the party acted wrongly by proceeding with the convention in spite of a subsisting court order directing compliance with conditions set by the Federal High Court.

Reacting in Abuja, Wike described the ruling as a victory for the rule of law and urged party members to embrace reconciliation and avoid conflicts.

He then warned that pursuing the matter to the Supreme Court could harm the party further, especially with political party primaries scheduled for April and May.

His words, “By the time you go to the Supreme Court, you are merely causing harm to your party which you say you love.

It is time now to say we have fought, let us drop our personal interest and make sure PDP becomes the number one opposition party.

For me, it is an opportunity for everybody to come back and see how we can salvage the party.

Leave your ego and personal interest. Come back and let us sit down and figure out how we can move forward together.”

WOW.
