PDP Stakeholders In SouthEast Hails Supreme Court for Affirming Party Supremacy, Congratulates Udeh-Okoye As Authentic Secretary

In a statement issued jointly by Chief Ali Odefa, Chairman of the Zonal Executive Committee, and Hon. James Ugwu, Zonal Secretary, the South East PDP commended the Supreme Court for safeguarding not only the party but also the nation’s democracy from those intent on undermining it for their own political gain.

In response to the apex court’s ruling, the statement declared, “This is not merely a victory for Rt. Hon. Udeh-Okoye as an individual, but a triumph for the party as a whole and for the nation’s democracy at large.

“This judgment clearly ratifies the South Zonal Executive Committee’s nomination of Hon. Sunday Udeh-Okoye as the party’s National Secretary, allowing him to complete the term of Senator Samuel Anyanyu, who secured the party’s nomination as its candidate for the Imo 2023 governorship election. It also validates Udeh-Okoye’s endorsement by the National Working Committee (NWC) on November 7, 2023, as well as various party organs.

“Consequently, the South East warmly congratulates our party leaders, loyal members, and, of course, Hon. Sunday Udeh-Okoye on this significant victory.

“We are delighted that this ruling has reinstated party supremacy, and the implications of this decision represent a substantial win not only for the PDP but for all political parties in Nigeria. With this ruling, the Supreme Court has reaffirmed the saying that the okra can never be taller than the person who planted it. The party is supreme.”
