The forum of the 36 state chairmen of the Social Democratic Party (SDP) and the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) has rejected the court order issued by Justice Hussain Yusuf which declared Prof. Jerry Gana as the presidential candidate of the party and sacked an ex-governor of Cross River State, Mr. Donald Duke, as the SDP standard bearer.

In a statement made available to journalists on Saturday in Abuja, which was signed by the forum’s Chairman; Hon. Oke Idawene and Secretary, Abubakar Dogara, they described the court ruling as “an act of gross injustice unconstitutional, and null and void”.

The statement reads in part: “the Party shall abide by the unanimous decision taken by the party’s delegates and the mandates of the 36 State Chapters and the FCT when they convincingly and overwhelmingly voted for Mr. Donald Duke in the October 6th October 2018 national presidential primaries of the Party.

“That mandate given to Donald Duke as the party’s presidential candidate is sacred, supreme and so remained sacrosanct as the will and ultimate decision of party and leadership which no court can abort.

“The Forum said it will use all available legal and judicial process to protect its mandate and ensure that the will of the people prevails.

”We wish to use this medium to assure the general public, especially party to remain calm and steadfast in their and goodwill for the party and its presidential candidate towards the actualization of the vision of the Party to rescue Nigeria through the 2019 General elections.

“The SDP is working within the ambiance of the law to vacate the order of the Abuja court where Prof Gana is trying to pervert and arrest justice through his unlawful claims.

“Against this backdrop, our legal team has filed an appeal against the order of the High Court at the Appeal court in Abuja.

“Therefore, we want to appeal to all party across the country to continue with their party activities and campaigns with utmost decorum, decency and orderliness.

“We shall communicate to all our , details of our campaign programmes in the days ahead.”

Jerry and Duke are just wasting their time and resources.

Please, what is Mr Gana looking for in politics again, when he should be throwing his weight behind a more shrewd politician, I've always had high hopes for people like Duke, K.Moghalu, Sowore, and Durotoye...these are the only set of people that can set us free from the perilous quagmire Nigeria has been riddled in for decades.

Jerry Gana has nothing to offer to this generation, it is an error to make presidential candidate of SDP, that will kill the party before arrival

imagine jerry Gana dey contest for president, heeey!!! End shall never wonder

Donald Duck and Jerry They are confusing inec which face ro put on the ballot paper. Let them stabilise na...

The party is working for APC, so they know that having Jerry Gana as their candidate will split a few thousand vote in the north central. Which will not pay off considering the royalty they hope to get from APC after the elections. Their constitution has really made the case easy for the judge and plaintiff.
