PDP won’t succumb to forces seeking its collapse, Turaki vows

Tanimu Turaki, the National Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), has vowed that the party will not be defeated by those seeking to undermine its existence. In a solidarity visit to the forum of 2027 governorship candidates loyal to the Interim National Working Committee, Turaki emphasized the party's determination to survive.

The Court of Appeal dismissed an appeal on Wednesday, affirming a previous Federal High Court ruling, which refused to grant the relief sought by Turaki's faction. Turaki stated, "We shall remain resolute in this. We will fight on. We will stand up because, when the going gets tough like this, it is often said that only the tough get going."

He explained that the PDP had directed its lawyers to review the recent court judgment and advise on the next course of action. The PDP Board of Trustees had not filed a new suit but sought clarification on existing court judgments affirming the legitimacy of Turaki's leadership and the party's 2027 candidates.
