A Senior Advocate of Nigeria, Magaji Mato, has called on the factions loyal to Taminu Turaki and Nyesom Wike within the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to stop their infighting and allow the party to survive.
Speaking in an interview on Arise Television on Sunday, Mato described the Supreme Court’s ruling as a victory for all sides, noting that it should encourage the party to set aside personal ambitions and resolve its internal crisis.
He pointed out that both the appeal filed by Wike’s group and the cross-appeal by Turaki’s faction were dismissed by the apex court. This, he explained, makes each side a winner in its own way, as neither emerged with a clear legal victory.
Mato urged the warring factions to go back to the drawing board, lay aside their pride and selfish interests, and work together to save the party. He emphasized that the only way forward is to bring all stakeholders together and chart a new course for the PDP.
