Alaibe Denies Withdrawing Court Case Against Diri

Erstwhile Managing Director of Niger Delta Development Commission, NDDC, Chief Timi Alaibe has denied reports of his withdrawal of the court case he instituted against the conduct of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP governorship primaries that produced Senator Douye Diri as flag bearer.

Some politicians from the PDP in the State had on Tuesday claimed that the Peace and Reconciliation Committee of the Party led by Senator Rufus Inatimi-Spiff had reached out to Alaibe making him to withdraw his legal pursuit.

But the head of the legal team to Chief Timi Alaibe, Somina Johnbull, in a statement issued yesterday in Yenagoa, described the claim as a rumor and insisted that Alaibe has not withdrawn the case.

According to the statement,” Our attention has been drawn to the false story that our client, Chief Ndutimi Alaibe has withdrawn the legal action instituted against the conduct and outcome of the Bayelsa PDP Governorship primaries at the Federal High Court”.

“We do not have any instruction from, and have not withdrawn the said suit which is still pending in Court and which our Client is determined to pursue to its logical conclusion”.

“Our client resorted to filing an action to deepen democratic practice in the political party, which he is devoted to. This right is protected and guaranteed by Section 87(9) of the Electoral Act. This is the least; he can do to challenge the obviously skewed and manipulated processes and events of the said PDP primaries”.

“Members of the public are advised to disregard the news of any purported withdrawal of the court action, as well as be wary of further fake news surrounding our client as the said suit progresses. Our client further notes that the resort to false propaganda would not dampen his resolve to ensure that power returns to the people”.
