The Peoples
Democratic Party (PDP), Wednesday raised the alarm accusing the ruling All
Progressives Congress (APC) of currently mounting pressure on the Supreme Court
to restrain itself from reversing the flawed judgment on the Imo State
Governorship election.
It also alleged that
this clandestine moves came despite obvious mistakes in the controversial
judgement, which is allegedly threatening the stability of the nation.
The party, however,
hailed Wednesday’s verdict of the Supreme Court on Bayelsa State governorship
election but noted that the grounds for the demands by the PDP and majority of
Nigerians for the reversal of Imo state governorship election judgment are
completely different from those of Bayelsa.
PDP spokesman, Kola
Ologbondiyan said this in a statement made available to newsmen in Abuja.
Further, the party
explained that its demand on Imo was not in any way in contestation of the
authority and finality of the Supreme Court.
It affirmed that the
PDP position was only a patriotic effort to assist the Supreme Court affirm its
infallibility by correcting the inherent mistakes in the judgment which came as
a result of misleading presentation to it by the APC.
Part if the
statement reads, “It is, therefore, instructive to note that the various
election matters before the Supreme Court were brought on clearly distinctive
grounds and each should be treated on its merit before the law.
“The party said the
only reason APC was pushing for a review of the Supreme Court’s valid and
flawless judgment on the Bayelsa and Zamfara governorship elections was to
cause confusion and blackmail the Supreme Court from treating the Imo case on
merit.
“The PDP maintained
that the grounds for the reversal of Imo judgment are unambiguously
constitutional and completely distinct from APC’s attempt to blackmail the
Supreme Court with their demands on the Bayelsa and Zamfara states governorship
election.
“The party therefore
urged the Supreme Court not to succumb to the threats and blackmail by APC to
push it restrain itself from looking at the merit of the Imo case; correcting
the mistakes and reversing the flawed judgment.”
