@HonKanz said:

"Your point highlights a potential contradiction between the PDP's approval of its members joining the government and their presence in court. This could imply that if the party has endorsed participation in the government, it might seem contradictory for them to simultaneously pursue legal actions against the government. The statement brings attention to the need for consistency in political actions and decisions."
