According to VANGUARD, the suit filed by the Alhaji Kawu Baraje’s faction of the Peoples Democratic Party, (nPDP), against the National Chairman, Alhaji Bamanga Tukur and three others at a Lagos High court has been struck out for want of jurisdiction.

The suit was filed by Baraje, Dr. Sam Jaja and Prince Olagunsoye Oyinlola on September 1, 2013.

The Baraje’s faction had dragged Tukur and his co-defendants to court praying for an interlocutory injunction to stop them from parading themselves as PDP National Executive Committee members.

Reacting, the nPDP through its National Public Secretary, Eze Chukwuemeka Eze said there was no cause for alarm over the ruling.

“We wish to assure our teeming members and Nigerians in general that there is no cause to worry. This is because the ruling has nothing to do with the merit of the case but the place of filing.”

“As advised by His Lordship, we shall hasten to re-file the suit, this time in Abuja, as we are convinced about the merit of our case.
