A disgruntled faction of the Social Democratic Party's (SDP) National Executive Committee (NEC) has vowed to appeal the decision of the Federal High Court
A disgruntled faction of the Social Democratic Party’s National Executive Committee has vowed to appeal the decision of the Federal High Court in Abuja that refused to recognise it as the party’s authentic leadership.
However, the aggrieved faction’s leader, Chief Supo Shonibare, who led the group to court, told reporters, shortly after the judge dismissed the suit, that their lawyers would study the decision and immediately approach the Court of Appeal on it. He stated that the plaintiffs are members of the party, which has an internal dispute resolution mechanism, and that the party has the authority to amend its constitution.He added: “I find that there is no cause of action in this case as the subject matter is internal affairs of the party.
Other plaintiffs who claimed to be part of the national and state executives of SDP include Nasiru Naaba, Kelvin Damara, Saleh Dass, Cornelius Oreruan, Tunde Onokoya, Abubakar Babaiya, Hassan Adamu, Aniekwe Ikechukwu, Isaac Bello and Mohammed Ibrahim. They claimed that their tenure had not expired when Professor Tunde Adeniran and his group hijacked the party in 2018, claiming that they were appointed at the party’s 2018 national convention.
