His words:
“We decided to move to the Supreme Court. The apex court will hear the matter and decide within 45 days.
“I am very optimistic that the Supreme Court will give its judgment based on equity and justice. It is a constitutional matter and nobody will violate the constitution and be allowed to go free.
“How can PDP not obey the constitution it made for itself? Now they are claiming they are operating the Nigerian constitution that allows for freedom of association. But the question is: was the party forced to make its constitution that recognised zoning?
“You know there is a Nigerian Constitution that allows for freedom of association and you decided to make your constitution which of course is binding on you.
“PDP agreed on zoning even when other parties were not interested in it, and the party has always respected it. You said zoning is for fairness and equity, so, why is it at this point that PDP wants to throw away zoning?"
If the apex court rules in Ndukwe's favour, the candidacy of Atiku will be voided and that will be big trouble for the PDP ahead of the 2023 presidential election.

Meanwhile, at last, a former presidential aspirant of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Cosmos Ndukwe, has opened up that he, not Governor Nyesom Wike, filed a lawsuit against Atiku Abubakar, Aminu Tambuwal, the governor of Sokoto, and the opposition party.
In an exclusive interview on Sunday, August 14, Ndukwe, who was a deputy speaker of the Abia State House of Assembly, claimed ownership of the suit, even if his name did not appear as a plaintiff.
