The Minority Caucus of the House
of Representatives, Wednesday, assured that the judgment of the Supreme Court
on the petition by the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and its Presidential
candidate, Atiku Abubakar, on the February 23 presidential election will not
deter the opposition in its constitutional role of ensuring checks and balances
in the system.
House Minority Leader, Hon. Ndudi
Elumelu, in a statement, affirmed that the judgment was surprising to many
Nigerians but pointed out that the apex court is the highest court in the land,
which makes its decision final.
The lawmaker, however, maintained
that the development will not detract from the commitment and determination of
the opposition in the House of Representatives to always protect the interest
of Nigerians by ensuring accountability, equity, fairness and strict adherence
to the rule of law in all aspects of governance.
He also commended Nigerians for
standing with the PDP throughout the litigation process and assured that all
hope was not lost, as the opposition will continue to insist on due process as
well as propagate alternatives on programmes and policies in the general
interest of the citizens.
