A public affairs analyst, Chima Nnaji, has called on the judiciary to exercise caution in treating the case involving two factions of the Peoples’ Democratic Party (PDP), which is currently before it.

Speaking on Channels Television’s breakfast programme, Sunrise Daily, he examined the crisis rocking the ruling party which has also been referred to the court of law for judgment.

However, since the PDP crisis “has been brought to the judicial angle,” “the judiciary must be very careful because the politicians are like soldiers of fortune. They have a way of plundering anything on their way,” he said.

On Saturday, the Tukur led PDP faction allegedly masterminded an operation by the Nigeria Police to seal off the secretariat of the Baraje led faction, in the Maitama area of Abuja.

The party defended the closure saying that the Baraje faction was acting against a court injunction. The court had earlier ruled that both parties retain status quo antebullum pending the time a proper hearing is staged.

Mr Nnaji said that the internal conflict in the party has gone out of hand as a result of different interests. He added that “in this situation, which is political, reason has completely taken a flight, because interests are involved”.
