Ogun State chapter of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) said it recognises the party’s national leadership headed by Ali Modu Sheriff and will not support the national caretaker committee led by Ahmed Makarfi, a former governor of Kaduna State.

The party said it also stands by rule of law on the matter, adding that the Port-Harcourt national convention of the party remains suspended and invalid.

In a communiqué issued on Thursday after its expanded state executive committee meeting held on Wednesday in Abeokuta, Ogun state, and signed by its Publicity Secretary, Bolaji Adeniji, PDP noted that two separate court orders barred the conduct of elections into three offices and 18 others respectively.

The party said the national chairman postponed the convention on the basis of the court order.

Citing article 33 of the PDP constitution (as amended 2012), the party declared in the communiqué declared that “no convention of PDP can stand without the presence and convocation of same by the national chairman.”

The communiqué reads, “The gathering in Abuja and a caretaker committee purportedly constituted on the Port-Harcourt convention ground after the chairman’s press briefing (suspending the convention) is ‘ultra vires, illegal, null and void and of no binding effect.

“Ogun PDP clearly stands by the rule of law and consequently, we support the National Working Committee, under the leadership of Sen. Ali Modu Sheriff.

“The aborted Port-Harcourt national convention of our party remains suspended and invalid. Two separate court orders barred the conduct of elections into three offices and 18 offices respectively and for this reason, the National Chairman postponed the convention; making it ‘fait accompli’. Subject to article 33 of the PDP constitution (as amended 2012), no convention of our party can stand without the presence and convocation of same by the national chairman.”
