PDP uncovers APC’s plot to frustrate S/ Court reversal of Imo judgment

The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has alerted that the All Progressives Congress (APC) is currently mounting pressure on the Supreme Court to restrain itself from reversing the Imo state governorship election.

The party said the Supreme Court judgment is flawed with obvious mistakes and is capable of threatening the stability of the nation.

Hailing Wednesday’s verdict of the Supreme Court on the Bayelsa state governorship election, the PDP however, noted that the elements and grounds for its demands for the reversal of Imo state governorship election judgment are completely different from those of Bayelsa state.

The PDP explained that its demand on Imo is not in any way in contestation of the authority and finality of the Supreme Court, but a patriotic effort to assist the court affirm its infallibility by correcting the inherent mistakes in the judgment which came as a result of misleading presentation by the APC.

In a statement by its National Publicity Secretary, Kola Ologbindiyan, the party said it is 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 is pushing for a review of the Supreme Court’s valid and flawless judgment on the Bayelsa and Zamfara states governorship elections is to cause confusion and blackmail the Supreme Court from treating the Imo case on merit.

It maintained that the grounds for the reversal of the 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 the APC to push it to restrain itself from looking at the merits of the Imo case, correcting the mistakes and reversing the flawed judgment.
