…says no going back on IhediohaThe Peoples Democratic Party may have abandoned plans to seek a review of the Supreme Court judgment dismissing its case against the election of the President, Major Gen
eral Muhammadu Buhari .
The Supreme Court stopped David Lyon of the APC from being inaugurated as Bayelsa State governor, along with Biobarakuma Degi-Eremienyo, on the eve of his inauguration after the deputy governor-elect submitted forged certificates to the INEC.But Lyon and his party approached the Supreme Court to reverse its judgment.
Ologbondiyan also demanded a review of the Supreme Court judgment on the 2019 Kaduna State election won by Nasir El-Rufai of the APC. Justice Amina Augie announced the fine while reading the judgment on Wednesday in the application for a review of its February 13 judgment sacking Lyon in favour of Diri.
She said granting the application would open a floodgate for the review of decisions of the Supreme Court. A source close to the party said, ‘‘We are actually under pressure not to return to the apex court for the review of the cases. He said, ‘‘The possibility of not returning to the apex court is high on those cases. We are yet to file the papers and may not likely file them. But we are talking.’’Meanwhile, the party has said it will not withdraw its application for the review of the Supreme Court’s January 14 judgment on the Imo State governorship election.
