PDP ADAMAWA HAILS COURT RULING NULLIFYING NATIONAL CARETAKER COMMITTEE, DECLARES AJIBADE, ANYA WU’S SUSPENSION VALID

By Our Correspondent

The Adamawa State Interim Caretaker Committee of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has officially welcomed the Court of Appeal judgment nullifying the party’s National Caretaker Committee, while upholding earlier court rulings that validated the suspension of A.

In a statement issued on Thursday by the Interim Caretaker Committee Chairman, Stephen Heluwa, the committee described the ruling as a landmark victory for the rule of law, internal party democracy, and the supremacy of the PDP Constitution.

According to the party, the appellate court’s decision reaffirms that discipline and adherence to party rules remain the bedrock of constitutional democracy. The judgment also validated the earlier decision by the party’s National Executive Committee (NEC) to suspend the embattled officers.

“With this judicial pronouncement — which aligns with the Supreme Court’s earlier position — every remaining shred of legitimacy to which these individuals laid claim has been permanently invalidated,” the statement read.

The Adamawa PDP further declared that Ajibade, Anyawu, and their associates no longer hold any official capacity within the party, adding that any actions, statements, or representations made by them under the guise of party leadership are “illegal, null, and void.”

The committee declared an official end to what it called “the era of manufactured factionalism and distractions,” stating that the judiciary has spoken clearly, leaving no room for ambiguity.

“This judgment is not just a win for H.E. (Dr.) Kabiru Tenimu Turaki, SAN, and the 13-man Interim National Working Committee (INWC), but a triumph for every member who believes that institutions are bigger than individuals. We are a party built on laws, not egos,” the statement added.

The Adamawa PDP urged all loyal, committed, and law-abiding members, stakeholders, and the general public to fully recognize and align with the legally recognized leadership led by H.E. (Dr.) Kabiru Tenimu Turaki, SAN.

The committee also called on any remaining aggrieved members to lay down their grievances, respect the rule of law, and return to the party fold.

With what it described as legal clarity now established, the party said its focus must shift entirely toward building a formidable, united front ahead of the 2027 general elections.

“We are ready to meet the electorates in order to liberate our dear nation,” the statement concluded.
