Chief Boniface Igwe, a Chief of the Popular Democratic Party (PDP) on the weekend said the party was committed to strengthening the rule of law and democracy in Nigeria.
IgWe spoke at a press conference that emphasized that PDP was based on the principles of the rule of law and said the part would be stronger and more formidable in its current leadership crisis.
He praised the recent meeting of interested parties of the Southeast with the National Labor Committee of the Party (NWC) held in the National Secretariat, where the crisis that balanced the party in Ebonyi was permanently resolved.
He said that the ratification of the Federal Superior Court ruling that annulled the neighborhood, the local government and the state congresses of the party in Ebonyi was a clear indication of the strong belief of the party in the rule of law and the internal democracy of the party.
The head of the party also applauded the replacement of the Ali Odefa chief, the national vice president of southeast of southeast PDP with Chief Chidiebere Egwu.
IGWE, who echoed the feelings of other interested parties of the party in Ebonyi, said the two historical decisions had ended the leadership confrontation that had affected the party after the general elections of 2023.
