Supreme Court Final Judgment On APC Vindicates Us, Rivers Citizens – PDP

BY AMOS DUNIA, ABUJA – The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), on Thursday said the resoluteness of the Supreme Court in upholding justice and resisting manipulations by All Progressives Congress (APC), leaders to revisit the issue of APC flawed primaries in Rivers State, which were lawfully annulled by the lower courts, has brought respite to Nigerians.

The PDP which was reacting to the ruling of the Apex Court on the appeal filed by the APC and Tonye Cole on the Rivers elections, said the judgement has further restored the Rivers people’s confidence in the institution of the judiciary.

A statement by the National Publicity Secretary of the PDP, Mr. Kola Ologbondiyan said that the concluding judgment of the Supreme Court, which categorically ended the “inordinate manipulations” by the All Progressives Congress (APC), to overturn the governorship, national and state assembly elections in Rivers state, has finally vindicated the PDP, Governor Nyesom Wike and the people of Rivers state

Ologbondiyan said; “The spontaneous public jubilation that trailed the concluding judgment attests to this. The judgment signifies the final triumph of the will of the people over the manipulative forces in APC, who have been deploying all manner of underhand dealings and violence, in their desperation to forcefully take over the control of the state.

“We therefore charged the APC leaders to note that they have come to the end of the road and that though evil may thrive for a moment, truth, justice and the will of the people will always prevail.”

The PDP also expressed confidence that just as the will of the people of Rivers state has been preserved, its Presidential mandate, which Nigerians freely gave to Atiku Abubakar on February 23, 2019, but brazenly stolen by the APC, will also be retrieved at the tribunal.
