PDP Govs Back Atiku’s Bid to Appeal to S’Court via thisdaylive
Peoples Democratic Party governors have decided to team up with the party’s presidential candidate in the last general election, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, to get the Supreme Court to upturn the judgment of the Presidential Election Petition Tribunal , which rejected his petition to be declared winner of the election.
The PDP governors said in a statement that posterity would not be kind to them should they abandon the party and Atiku to fight the legal battle alone. He added that if not challenged at the apex court, the judgment might constitute a clog in the wheel of developing democracy, aside sending wrong signals to the youths and laying a faulty moral foundation for generations of Nigerians yet unborn.
“The apex court should know that its integrity is at stake and in order to avoid it been shredded to particles, must employ all known technicalities to save our nation and the future of Nigerians yet unborn from a development that may further make us a perpetual laughing stock among the comity of nations. Nigerians are very hopeful that these wrongs will be righted.
“After our meeting with Atiku, the BoT as a body will meet on Thursday this week to consider other issues affecting the party, including the report of the committee that investigated the crisis in the party over the minority leadership in the House of Representatives,” he added.Meanwhile, Atiku’s lawyers have confirmed receipt of a copy of the judgment delivered by the tribunal ahead of their filing the appeal before the Supreme Court.
