and uphold accountability of lawyers.

According to them the five Justices of the Supreme Court on Friday unanimously set aside the judgements of the High Court of Enugu State, which last October declared Hon. Sunday Udeh-Okoye as national secretary of the PDP, and that of the Court of Appeal, Enugu, which upheld the judgement.

Justice Jamilu Tukur, who delivered the lead judgment, consequently struck out the judgment of the trial court delivered in October last year and also set aside the majority judgment of the Court of Appeal which had in December affirmed the sack of Anyanwu as PDP’s National Secretary.

Few minutes after the judgement was delivered, Ologunagba issued a statement claiming the judgement upheld Ude-Okoye as national secretary.

On January 7, 2025, the PDP spokesman had stated: “There were two court orders and on December 24, 2023, after consultation with the PDP National Legal Adviser, it was confirmed that we have received the judgment on the appeal affirming Hon S. K. Udeh-Okoye, as the National Secretary of the party. We are a rule of law compliant party, we believe in this finality of the judicial process.

“We have always respected judicial pronouncement and we will always abide by that culture;. The position of the party has not changed to that; in consistence with our position in the past as rule of law compliant party, we are obeying the order of court; we will follow the processes and ensure full compliance with the pronouncement of the Court of Appeal.”

Ologunagba added: “We have received the judgment of the Court of Appeal that affirmed, Right Honourable S. K. E. Ude okoye, as National Secretary of PDP as as a party, we are bound by that judgment because it’s the judgment from the highest court to date,”
