Baraje hinged his action on a ruling by An Abuja High Court on September 13th 2013. According to the ruling, 'new PDP' should be allowed to operate without any harassment or inhibition as its existence does not contravene any known law.
He also appealed to the President to reopen faction's other offices sealed by the police - those in Kwara, Rivers, Kaduna and Bayelsa States.
In a statement signed by the faction's National Publicity Secretary Eze Chukwuemeka Eze, Baraje stated:
"In view of this ruling, the Police no longer has any valid reason (it never did, anyway) to continue to seal our Secretariats. We implore the president to save the Police from the plot to ridicule it by using it to perpetrate illegalities such as sealing the lawfully-acquired National Secretariat of PDP and our Secretariats in states like Rivers, Bayelsa, Kaduna and Kwara."
The faction stated that Tukur leadership would be over soon. And to speed up the process, 'new PDP' will not hesitate to use the judiciary again:
"We will continue to use the Judiciary to prove to Tukur’s faction that the days of running the affairs of our great party with impunity and high-handedness are gone for good. The time has come for him to correctly read the handwriting on the wall and honorably throw in the towel along with his National Working Committee (NWC)."
The faction also inaugurated a four-member committee to be chaired by the Niger State Governor Babangida Aliyu, to look for ways of resolving the stand-off between the Nigeria Government and the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU), which had resulted in the union embarking on strike.
