“The Constitution of SDP in article 13 I and 13 III clearly stipulate the powers, responsibility and limitations of the powers of the National working committee.
“It is a glaring fact of law that the Admiral left NWC whose tenure of office has elapsed in accordance with article 19. 1 of SDP constitution does not possess the Constitutional power to dissolve Ondo State working committee.
