Peoples Democratic Party’s (PDP’s) declaration that the Supreme Court has no option but to dismiss the pending application by All Progressives Congress..
Peoples Democratic Party’s declaration that the Supreme Court has no option but to dismiss the pending application by All Progressives Congress to review its judgment in the Zamfara State governorship election matter amounts to another effort by the opposition party to intimidate the apex court, APC has said.
“PDP has unfortunately come to be known for deploying blackmail and intimidation of state institutions as a strategy to circumvent or derail processes and procedures that are at variance with any of its inordinate interests. The unique thing about Zamfara’s case at the Supreme Court is that the APC is not attacking the judgment of their Lordships, but only praying that they vary their consequential order for the purpose of justice.
“Recall that while delivering the landmark lead judgment, Chukwudifu Oputa JSC in Adegoke Motors Vs. Adesanya considered the powers of the Supreme Court to review its earlier decisions and said: ‘We are final not because we are infallible; rather we are infallible because we are final.’ Justices of this court are human beings, capable of erring.”
