The legal team is headed by a seasoned litigation and commercial lawyer, JK Gadzama.
The former vice president declared that it is crucial to go through this process not just for himself and the PDP but also to reinforce constitutional democracy and safeguard it for future generations.
The list of SANs include Chris Uche, Paul Usoro, Tayo Jegede, Ken Mozia, Mahmood Magaji, Mike Ozekhome, Joe Abraham, Garba Tetengi Chukwuma Umeh and Emeka Etiaba.
Others include Goddy Uche, Professor Maxwell Gidado; PDP’s National Legal Adviser A.K. Ajibade; O.M. Atoyebi; Nella Rabana; Paul Ogbole; Nuremi Jimoh and Abdul Ibrahim.
