Seek Reconciliation Rather Than Futile Legal Battle – Oyo PDP Urges Turaki
The Caretaker Committee of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Oyo State has urged the faction of the party led by Tanimu Turaki to seek reconciliation rather than pursuing a futile legal battle.
Chairman of the caretaker committee, Professor Abdulrahman Akinoso, made the statement in a press release on Friday evening.
It would be recalled that a Federal High Court sitting in Ibadan had on Friday nullified the Turaki-led PDP National convention, which was held in Ibadan between 15 and 16 November last year.
The court, led by Justice Uche Agomoh, ruled that the convention and its outcomes were illegal.
The court then nullified the convention and thereafter affirmed the caretaker committee as the lawful governing body of the party.
However, the Turaki-led faction vowed to appeal the judgment.
Akinoso, in his reaction, urged the faction led by Turaki to seek reconciliation rather than pursuing a futile legal battle.
He said that the party remained committed to unity and democratic principles.
Akinoso also reaffirmed the support of the caretaker committee for the National Caretaker Committee.
He said, “We urge the Turaki-led group to seek reconciliation rather than pursuing a futile legal battle.
“The PDP remains committed to unity and democratic principles. The Oyo State PDP Caretaker Committee reaffirms its support for the National Caretaker Committee and pledges to work towards party unity and success in the 2027 general elections.
“We call on all PDP members to rally behind the party’s leadership and focus on rebuilding and strengthening our structures for electoral success”.
