The Edo State chapter of the Peoples Democratic Party aligned with the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike, and the party’s South-South Vice Chairman, Dan Orbih, has welcomed the Federal High Court judgment that set aside the party’s recent national convention.
The ruling was delivered on Friday, January 31, 2026. Reacting to it in Benin City, the faction said the decision has brought direction to the party and created room for order and stability.
