George Turnah, the secretary of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in the South-South Zone, has criticized the Board of Trustees (BoT) for rejecting the reconciliation committee’s motion to end the party’s internal strife and guarantee a peaceful national convention in 2025.

Turnah further said that it was unlawful for a portion of the Party to insist on holding the national convention in contravention of the court injunction.

He claims that the BoT’s rejection of the reconciliation committee’s report constituted an act of impunity.

Everything was ready for the two-day event, and activities at the Lekan Salami Stadium, where the convention is scheduled to take place, are reportedly going well.

“It is important to state that there is no PDP convention going on anywhere. Of course, you know that Nigerians are very free to assemble, and freedom of movement.

“The Governor of Oyo State also has the right to host whatever gathering – it could be PDP members, and it could be non-PDP members. He can host owambe and other social gatherings. It’s okay, but we are law-abiding citizens of this country.

“It even says a lot about the leadership of the party. When we complain about impunity, people may not understand the gravity of it. It is obvious, and Nigerians can now see that you have a court judgment that says the convention should not hold now.

“INEC hasn’t given a clearance for the convention. They have been told to go back to check some processes before the convention can be held. You saw the manner in which they did some forum shopping and got an ex parte order.

“A situation when a complete judgment has been aired. The court made findings in the case of the exclusion of a respected founding founder of the party, Sule Lamido, and it is not a secret that Nigerians do not know who the aspirants in this election.

“The PDP has a way we pick our forms, with a funfair. You can easily analyse because the media will be involved, and they will go around the country to campaign. But you can agree that you didn’t find any of those elements in the build-up to the convention,” Turnah said.
