Mr

“Consequently,
the National Working Committee of the PDP, after comprehensive consultations,
states that our party has no choice left, given the manner with which the APC
has conducted itself than to ask for a review of the judgment of the
Presidential election petition tribunal, where the issue of certificate forgery
and or presentation of false information in aid of qualifications was clearly
established against the APC and her presidential candidate,” Ologbondiyan
stressed.

The PDP spokesman further revealed
that the party’s position is predicated upon the “desperation of the APC to
subjugate, and to intimidate for the purpose of annexing the Supreme Court over
Imo, Bayelsa and Zamfara Governorship Election Judgments”.

According
to Ologbondiyan, there is a consensus among majority of Nigerians and even the
international community that there was “obvious miscarriage of
justice” by the Supreme Court panel on the Imo state governorship
election, for which the PDP accordingly reverted to the Supreme Court asking it
to correct the “manifest mistakes and errors in that judgment”, which are
already in the public domain.

PDP,
however, says it finds it ludicrous, ridiculous and insulting to the
sensibilities and respect of the Supreme Court Justices for the APC to
hurriedly and malevolently head to the Supreme Court to attempt to “arm-twist
the lord justices” to effect a forceful reversal of the valid, flawless and
faultless judgments on Bayelsa and Zamfara states governorship elections.

The opposition party also asked the
Supreme Court to review its judgment on the Osun Governorship election in view
of “manifest, complete and total disregard to our electoral rules in the
conduct of the elections”.

Mr.
Ologbondiyan said his party will not fold its hands and watch enemies of
Nigeria’s hard-earned democracy, who contributed nothing to its birth, to
continue to appropriate the nation’s collective sovereignty for their selfish
political gains while destroying institutions and holding the people to ransom.

He
said the time has come for all Nigerians to stand in unity to defend the nation
and salvage it from political marauders and oppressive elements.

“Our
nation is already aware of the desperation by the APC to annex the Supreme
Court, subjugate and browbeat the justices and direct judicial determinations
to suit their selfish ends,” Ologbondiyan stated.

The
PDP’s call comes on the heels of pressure mounting on the Apex Court from both
the ruling and opposition political parties seeking a review and possibly
reverse of the Court’s judgment on Imo, Zamfara, and Bayelsa state governorship
elections.

While
the APC insists that the Apex Court erred in its judgment on Zamfara and
Bayelsa state governorship polls, the PDP maintains that its Imo State governorship
candidate was wrongly removed from office by the Court.
