PDP has asked the international community to immediately impose sanctions on President Muhammadu Buhari for making prejudicial statements against petitions filed before the Presidential Election Petition Tribunal.
At a press conference presided over by its National Publicity Secretary, Debo Ologunagba, the opposition party condemned Buhari’s statement, which it said suggested that APC’s presidential candidate and President-elect, Bola Ahmed Tinubu, won the February 25, 2023 presidential election.
According to the PDP, “this statement reveals the utter disregard that General Buhari has for our constitutional democracy, judiciary and the will of the Nigerian people as expressed at the February 25, 2023, presidential election.” “It is unpardonable that President Buhari, who swore to uphold the laws of our country and made several commitments to the world to ensure free, fair, credible and transparent election is rather in approval of election rigging through manifest compromise of INEC system and widespread alteration, falsification and switching of election results in favour of his rejected party, the APC.
“More distressing is that President Buhari, by his sub-judice comments apparently seeks to bully, blackmail and influence the judiciary and the outcome of the petition pending before the Presidential Election Petition Tribunal so as to allow his party, the APC and its candidate to “grab, snatch and run” with the people’s mandate.”
