PDP To APC: You’re Discomfited By Weight Of Evidence Against Buhari At Supreme Court
BY VICTOR BUORO, ABUJA – The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), on Tuesday declared that the All Progressives Congress (APC), being discomfited by the weight of evidence against it and President Muhammadu Buhari, has resorted to cooked-up stories, inventions and threats, in a bid to smokescreen its machinations against the Supreme Court.
The PDP also said that the present posture and antics of the ruling APC is part of the characteristics of individuals desperate to distract the court.
The opposition Party pointedly said that there is no way the APC, can escape justice at the Supreme Court, given its weight of evidence proving that its Presidential Candidate, Atiku Abubakar, won the February 2019 Presidential election.
The PDP therefore cautioned the APC and supporters of President Muhammadu Buhari to desist from what it described as “their art of blackmails and irresponsible allegations” against it and Atiku Abubakar, stressing that such can never sway the Supreme Court to alter the course in the matter.
These were contained in a statement signed by the National Publicity Secretary of the PDP, Kola Ologbondiyan in which he stressed that the Party has built a solid case at the Supreme Court.
According to Ologbondiyan; “It stands with Nigerians across the country in believing that Justice will prevail. On the other hand, the APC, seeing that it has no hope, has been devising all manner of shenanigans to overheat the system so as to create the ground to derail the course of justice.
“Nigerians are aware of how chaotic the APC has been since the PDP and Atiku Abubakar succeeded in assembling our undisputable evidence before the Supreme Court, including the clear miscarriage of Justice in the judgment of the Presidential Election Petitions Tribunal (PEPT), which even the tribunal admitted was full of errors.
“Nigerians are also aware how the APC plots to frustrate and irritate the Supreme Court by filling a cross appeal seeking to direct the apex court on what to do with the critically flawed judgment of the tribunal.
“Unfortunately for the APC and the Buhari Presidency, all the flaws in the judgment of the tribunal are bare before Nigerians; they are now before the Supreme Court and the APC cannot escape justice,” the PDP spokesman said.
Ologbondiyan said the PDP would refused to be drawn into a dance in the mud with “the unsettled APC, which is reputed as a party of schemers, blackmailers, manipulators, scammers, coercers, powermongers, certificate forgers and desperate individuals” whose desire is to cause confusion, blackmail the Supreme Court and disrupt the trajectory of justice in the case.
