The faction of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) loyal to the Oyo State Governor, Seyi Makinde, has expressed confidence that the Supreme Court will eventually rule in its favour.
This position was made known in a statement on Wednesday by the party’s National Publicity Secretary, Ini Ememobong, in reaction to the latest ruling of the apex court on the party’s leadership crisis.
PrimeTimes Nigeria recalls that the Supreme Court on Wednesday, reserved judgment in the appeal filed by the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) regarding its nullified convention held in Ibadan, Oyo State, in November 2025.
A five-member panel, led by Justice Mohammed Garba, announced that the date of the judgment will be communicated to their lawyers.
Reacting, Ememobong charged party supporters to maintain calm and keep their hopes alive.
He recalled that the Supreme Court had always served as the last hope of the common man and expressed confidence that the judiciary would deliver judgments that would preserve multi-party democracy and prevent the enthronement of a one-party state in Nigeria.
“The Court heard the appeals, with all parties adopting their respective processes, and thereafter reserved judgment to a date to be communicated to counsel.
“We charge all true and uncompromised PDP members to keep their faith alive, in the unwavering hope that the apex court will deliver judgments that will preserve multi-party democracy and prevent the imminent enthronement of a one-party state. The Supreme Court has, at several times in the history of our non-linear democratic experience, remained the last hope of Nigeria and Nigerians, even in the face of immense pressure and unimaginable risk,” the statement read in part.
