In a significant development, Bode George and other prominent figures within the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) are set to appear before the Federal High Court in Ikoyi on June 11, 2024.
They face allegations of anti-party activities during the 2023 election.
This court case stems from actions taken by Bode George and his associates, who openly endorsed Labour Party candidates over those of the PDP in Lagos State.
Several PDP candidates, feeling betrayed, have dragged George and six others to court, accusing them of violating the PDP constitution, which they swore to uphold as members of the Board of Trustees (BOT).
After exhausting the internal mechanisms of the PDP without resolution, the plaintiffs filed suit No: FHC/L/CS/534/24, naming the party as a co-defendant.
They seek a court interpretation of the PDP Constitution (2017 as amended), which stipulates that anyone involved in anti-party activities shall be expelled.
The outcome of this case could have far-reaching implications for the PDP and its internal governance, potentially setting a precedent for how the party handles future instances of disloyalty and internal conflict.
