By Ozioruva Aliu BENIN CITY – Edo State Chapter of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) loyal to Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike, and the South-South Vice Chairman of the party, Dan Orbih, has lauded Friday’s Federal High Court ruling that nullified the recently held national convention of the party. A statement by the state chairman of the faction of the party, Bar Nosakhare Ogieva-Okunbor, said the judgment marked a new dawn for unity and progress of the party. He called on members of the party to support Abdulraman Mohammed as National Chairman and Senator Samuel Anyanwu as National Secretary of the party. “This ruling provides much-needed clarity and judicial endorsement, reinforcing the principles of internal order, constitutional due process, and unity within our great party. It represents a timely and decisive intervention that strengthens our foundation, restores confidence among members and enhances our collective capacity to rebuild and reposition for future victories,” the statement said. “We extend our warm congratulations to Alhaji Abdulraman Mohammed on this well-deserved affirmation of his leadership. His steady hand, commitment to broad-based reconciliation, and focused efforts to rebuild party structures nationwide have earned him the trust and respect of members across all zones. Similarly, the confirmation of Senator Samuel Anyanwu as National Secretary solidifies the administrative framework necessary for effective coordination and renewed organisational vigour. “At this pivotal moment, we call on all members, supporters, and stakeholders of the PDP to unite behind the affirmed National Caretaker Committee. Unity of purpose is indispensable to our mission of repositioning the party, strengthening internal democracy, and restoring our widespread national appeal. “This judgment opens a new chapter of collective renewal. We urge every committed member to embrace this opportunity, uphold party discipline, and work collaboratively for the greater good of the PDP.”
