Bode George queries judgment stopping PDP convention, condemns invasion of secretariat

Olabode George, former Deputy National Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), has condemned the invasion of the party’s national secretariat by uniformed security personnel, describing the action as a dangerous affront to democracy and the rule of law.

George stated this on Wednesday during a press conference at his office in Ikoyi, Lagos, noting that the “brigandage” was carried out in concert with a minority faction of the party.

In a 31 October judgment, Justice James Omotosho of the Federal High Court ordered the stoppage of the PDP’s convention scheduled for 15 and 16 November in Ibadan, Oyo State
