PDP rules out the possibility of reversing its decision to challenge in court the re-election of President Muhammadu Buhari. Nigeria NigeriaDecides PDP Politics
Briefing journalists yesterday in Abuja, the party’s National Chairman, Uche Secondus, dismissed reports that the party had given some conditions for reversing the decision to the National Peace Committee. Secondus said its leadership told the committee that there could be no peace without justice, adding that only the court would address the electoral injustice at last Saturday’s elections.
“Initially, we were not to talk with them because a decision had been taken to go to court, but because of the personalities involved, we said okay, let’s just talk. “It was no condition. There was no request of any condition. We made it clear that unless the injustices are addressed, there is no room for peace. It is only when you address the injustice that you can now sit down for peace.
“The military were dragged into the elections to suppress and scare away voters and facilitate rigging. That is how you hear ridiculously that war-torn Borno and Yobe states recorded higher percentage in voter turn-out than some states in the South-South geo-political zone.”Meanwhile, the Southwest leaders of the party have urged Atiku and the NWC to immediately commence diligent prosecution of actions to expose the fraudulent elections with a serious view to reclaim the stolen mandate.
