Suspended National Chairman of the People’s Democratic Party, Uche Secondus has reacted to the ruling of the Court of Appeal which dismissed his suit seeking to halt the convention of the party.
Secondus, in a statement by his spokesperson, Ike Abonyi, said he will appeal the judgement to avoid abuse of the party’s constitution.
He said the issue is not about him but the sanctity of the party and the Constitution.
Part of the statement reads,
“I have just been briefed of the ruling of the Court of Appeal, Port Harcourt dismissing my motion to halt the National Convention of the party. I respect the position of the court even though I disagree totally with it.
Even as the substantive case is still pending at the Court of Appeal, I have instructed my lawyers to study the ruling with a view to appealing it immediately as no abuse of the constitution of our dear party should be allowed to stand.
The issue is not about Prince Uche Secondus but the sanctity of our party constitution and core democratic principles of justice and rule of law, not only in PDP but in our democracy. No impunity must be condoned.
