A chieftain of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has frowned at the court ruling that nullified the party’s 2025 national convention in Ibadan.
Speaking during an interview on Arise Television on Friday, George said the presiding judge acted and talked as if she was in a beer parlour.
The elder statesman said he is absolutely disgusted by the judgement, which recognized the FCT Minister, Nyesom Wike-backed faction.
The Federal High Court sitting in Ibadan nullified the PDP National Convention held in Ibadan, Oyo State, on November 15, 2025.
In the ruling, presiding judge, Justice Uche Agomoh, barred members of the Tanimu Turaki-led National Working Committee, NWC, from parading themselves as national officers of the PDP.
The judgment also recognized the Wike-led faction of the party.
Reacting on Friday, George said, “INEC monitored the National Convention of our party in Ibadan, as that is the party’s procedure. It is curious to know where and how the convention of the Wike faction was monitored, if at all.
“The judgement from Ibadan deviated from the matter before the judge; we’ll appeal this judgement.
“The judge veered out, started talking as if she was in a beer parlour. It’s unfortunate that this is the quality of people you have. I am absolutely disgusted. At this age, I have seen. It just reminded me. Where are the likes of Justice JIC Taylor in Lagos and so on?
“I have seen it before, and I’m happy that God has kept my life to this stage. Let us do what is just. People will come, people will go. What has happened is only a history that will remind you if you do well, and if you mess up and create mayhem. I hope they won’t run away because if heavens fall, nobody will escape.”
