A member of the Board of Trustees (BoT) of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Bode George, said the party is law-abiding and respects the rule of law.
George made this statement on Friday during an interview on Politics Today, a programme on Channels Television.
He was responding to the controversy surrounding the party’s National Convention scheduled for November 15 and 16.

The PDP has recently been engulfed in internal political wrangling, resulting in a split into two factions. The faction loyal to the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, FCT, Nyesom Wike, is chaired by Abdulrahman Mohammed, while the other is chaired by Umar Damagum.
Justice Peter Odo Lifu of the Federal High Court in Abuja had issued a final order preventing the party from proceeding with its 2025 National Convention scheduled for Ibadan, Oyo State.
George said, “We (PDP) are a law-abiding organisation. Let us show to Nigerians that we believe in the rule of law.
“You cannot be a party disobeying court judgement and then you say you want to take over the reins of governance; let us obey the judgement of the court.”
