The beleaguered National Secretary of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Prince Olagunsoye Oyinlola, has that the party will collapse if he is not reinstated.

It will be recalled that the Court of Appeal, Abuja had ordered his reinstatement as National Secretary last Wednesday but the leadership of the party suspended him instead.

In Abuja on Wednesday, Oyinlola declared:”If I am not reinstated, it would mean the end of the PDP in Nigeria. I will brief my legal team for the next line of action if they fail to comply with the ruling of the court.”

Oyinlola also defected the claims by the leadership of the party that they were yet to be served a copy of the ruling, saying that their lawyer was in court on the day of the judgment.

Describing the claim as an afterthought, Oyinlola said the Bamanga Tukur led PDP did not wait for a copy of the January 11 judgment of the Federal High Court that ousted him before swearing-in a replacement.

“They did not accept service at the party secretariat so I forwarded electronic copies to the National Legal Adviser, Mr. Victor Kwom and the National Publicity Secretary, Chief Olisa Metuh.

“Serving them a copy of the ruling was meant to fulfill all righteousness because they are fully aware of the judgment. Tukur cannot claim ignorant of the judgment,” Oyinlola stated.

 Tukur is running the party like a subsidiary of his private company, instead of seeing the ruling as an opportunity to reconcile aggrieved members, the chairman has decided to create more crises in the party, he said.
