The party, in a statement by its spokesman, Kola Ologbondiyan said, “all our leaders, members and teeming supporters are to be guided by this accordingly.”
Meanwhile, the PDP has expressed grief over the death of its former National Legal Adviser, Barr. Victor Kwon.
The party described the death as a huge blow not only to the PDP but also the nation, particularly in the struggle for the entrenchment of justice and rule of law in the nation.
Barr. Victor Kwon, who was reported to have died of accident, according to PDP, was an exceptionally patriotic Nigerian; a very energetic democrat, who gave his best towards the unity, stability and fight for good governance in the country.
PDP, in a statement by its spokesman, Ologbondiyan said, “as the National Legal Adviser of our party, Barr. Victor Kwon displayed an extra-ordinary commitment and brilliance in the legal practice and led the party in solving many knotty legal issues.
“Even after his tenure as the Legal Adviser, Barr. Kwon remained very active in giving legal advice towards the growth and stability of our party as well as exhibiting uncommon loyalty and commitment to the ideals of the PDP to the very end.
“The PDP is greatly saddened that Barr. Victor Kwon left the state at the time our party and indeed the nation at large, need his patriotism and wealth of experience the most.”
The party, has, however, commiserated with the Kwon family and the Plateau state chapter of PDP and prayed to “God to grant us all the fortitude to bear this irreparable loss.”
