George made the remarks while addressing the controversy surrounding the PDP’s National Convention slated for November 15 and 16.

The party has been grappling with internal conflicts that have led to a division into two factions — one aligned with the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike, led by Abdulrahman Mohammed, and the other headed by Umar Damagum.

Recently, Justice Peter Odo Lifu of the Federal High Court in Abuja issued a final order halting preparations for the 2025 National Convention scheduled to take place in Ibadan, Oyo State.

However, on Friday, the Oyo State High Court in Ibadan issued a fresh directive allowing the PDP to proceed with the convention as planned.

Speaking during an interview on Channels Television’s “Politics Today,” George cautioned that the PDP cannot seek to govern the country while disregarding judicial rulings.

He stated, “We in the PDP are a law-abiding organisation. We must demonstrate to Nigerians that we respect the rule of law.

“You cannot be a party that disobeys court judgments and still claim you want to take over the reins of governance. Let us comply with the court’s decision.”
