2023: PDP Warns CJN Over Intefering In Party’s Internal Affairs

The Peoples Democratic Party has expressed worries over comments credited to the Chief Justice of Nigeria, Olukayode Ariwoola, where he was said to have dabbled into the internal affairs of the PDP.

The PDP said though it had the greatest respect for the institution of the judiciary and judicial officers, it, however, rejected any action or utterance by any judicial officer, let alone the CJN, that hindered the integrity of the judiciary.

In a statement by the party’s National Publicity Secretary, Debo Ologunagba, on Saturday the party said, “By delving into the internal affairs of the PDP at a public event in Port Harcourt, Rivers State on Thursday, November 24, 2022, where he was reported to have made reference to the political activities of some PDP governors, which comment is viewed to be encouraging division in our party, the PDP posits that the CJN’s action is unacceptable and inconsistent with his status as the head of the judicial arm of government.

“Our party is worried that such partisan comment by the CJN is in violation of his Oath of Office as the head of the country’s judicial arm which is expected to be impartial and non-partisan.”
