A faction of the embattled Peoples Democratic Party, PDP has distanced itself from a puported suit against Justice Ibrahim Auta and Justice Okon Abang as a result of their involvement in judgments delivered against  the Party.

 In a press release, the Sen. Ahmed Makarfi-led faction of the PDP National Caretaker Committee,  Senator Ahmed Mohammed Makarfi, stated unequivocally that the faction is  not part of the suit at the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) High Court. It however  urged any of its members  or groups that initiated the suit to immediately withdraw it.

 "The PDP under Senator Ahmed Makarfi has no reason to sue the honourable justices of the Federal High Courts and the Party will continue to rely strongly on the judiciary as the last hope of the common man knowing fully that its only our dependence on prudent court judgment that will continue to stabilize our democracy and bring about good governance.

 "In the light of the above, the PDP has not instructed anyone or group of persons to file any case on its behalf and therefore is not a party to suit no. 9V/2239/2016 before the High Court of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT)." the statement signed by Dr Ibrahim Umar, Special Adviser to the National Chairman read.
