A chieftain of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Eddy Olafeso, has alleged that those opposing the party’s national convention are working to establish a one-party state in Nigeria.
Olafeso, a former National Vice Chairman of the party, made the allegation on Tuesday when he appeared as a guest on ‘Politics Today’, a programme on Channels Television monitored by Urban Express News.
While reacting to the Federal High Court’s order stopping the PDP from holding its national convention scheduled for November 15 to 16 in Ibadan, Olafeso described the decision as the climax of judicial rascality.
“The restraining order from the Federal High Court today against our scheduled convention did not come as a shock to us.
“A group is focused on ensuring that they eradicate the party, but we will not allow it. Good will prevail over evil,” he said.
According to him, the party would not be deterred by the ruling, expressing optimism that the convention would still hold.
The PDP stalwart also alleged that those working against the PDP had ulterior motives aimed at weakening the opposition.
