 The People's Democratic Party is walking a tightrope. It is set to get new executives at its national convention scheduled for Saturday and Sunday. But there's a possibility that the convention would not take place. The outcome of an appeal at a court in River State could determine whether party members gather in Abuja at the weekend. Jacinta Obuco tells us more. It is no news that the People's Democratic Party PDP has been facing some internal turbulence. The party had fixed October the 30th and 31st for a special convention to elect new national officers. But its suspended national chairman Uche Sokondos filed a court application seeking to stop the convention. His appeal will be heard on Thursday and the PDP's Deputy National Publicity Secretary Dearon Udemy is hopeful the outcome would be in the party's favor. We are not anticipating any problem at all and we believe as a party we have done everything that should be done within the ambit of our constitution and within the ambit of the constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria without violating the electoral law that could stop us from holding the convention. Irrespective of whatever the court says tomorrow we are very hopeful that our convention is not going to be stopped. He also assures that the party will obey the court's ruling. If God forbid the decision goes against us as a party of course we have to sit down and with the highest ruling body of the party to take the next line of action and not until that is done it's very difficult to predict what will be the agenda. Definitely we will break out ruling we will break out order but that is not to say that we will not sit down and restructure guys. A legal practitioner Emeka Obara is advising the party to await for the outcome of the appeal before taking a decision. I'm not very much aware of the legal grounds upon which Ucheku Sukundus went to court but what I can say is that I think the party ought to respect and await the outcome of the court decision. As members of the PDP wait for what happens on Thursday the chairman of the party's national convention planning committee Amadou Finturi has hinted that an emergency meeting of its national executive committee could be summoned. This all depends on the judgment of the court of appeal.
