The lawyer representing Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) National Secretary, Prince Olagunsoye Oyinlola, and PDP leaders Alhaji Abubakar Kawu Baraje, Dr. Sam Sam Jaja and Ambassador Ibrahim Kazaure, has written the PDP over the summoning of the quartet by the party’s disciplinary committee. Baraje, Oyinlola, Jaja and Kazaure have been ordered to appear before the Umaru Dikko-led committee on Wednesday, November 27, over alleged anti-party activities but have vowed not to do so.

On Thursday, their lawyer, Awa Kalu (SAN), wrote to PDP National Chairman, Alhaji Bamanga Tukur, warning the party not to ridicule the judiciary as cases are still pending in court regarding the allegations for which his clients are being tried by the party.

According to Awa in the content of the letter sighted by News Express: “Our instruction is that notwithstanding pending litigations, the distinguished party of which you are the national chairman, intends to put machinery in motion aimed at making mockery of the Judicial process and thus the Rule of Law. May we respectfully inform you that Suit No: FHC/ABJ/CS/774/13, (Prince Oyinlola and 3 Others vs PDP and Another) is presently pending in Court No 6 of the FHC, Abuja Division. In addition, there is a pending appeal at the Supreme Court arising from the Court of Appeal Suit No CA/A/84/2013 (Chief Adebayo Dayo & Another vs Prince Olagunsoye Oyinlola & 2 Others) in which the Court of Appeal dealt with the subject matter of your intended disciplinary proceedings.

“It is on the basis of the above that we urge you to tread slowly in order not to render superior courts toothless’’
