According to Mr. Ologunagba, the PDP national legal adviser is the only person authorized to handle the party’s litigation, prosecution, and defense of cases.
As specifically stated in Section 42 of the PDP’s Constitution (as revised in 2017), he continued, “On behalf of the party’s organs, chapters, and officials, only the national legal adviser also had the exclusive power to do that.”

The engagement must also be in writing, signed by the national legal adviser, and include a description of the case’s specifications
He continued by saying that, as specifically stated in Section 42 of the PDP’s Constitution (as modified in 2017), only the national legal adviser had the unique authority to act in that capacity on behalf of the party’s organs, chapters, and officials.
“Therefore, the PDP dissociates itself,” he stated.
