Supreme Court Indictment: Resign Now – PDP Tells Mai Buni 

Share

BY EVELYN DADU, ABUJA – The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) on Tuesday asked the Interim National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Governor Mala Mai Buni of Yobe State to resign his position as governor and party position following the pronouncement of the Supreme Court, which found his leadership of the party as “irresponsible and reckless”.

The PDP noted that the Supreme Court found Buni of engaging in unsubstantiated allegations against the justices of the Supreme Court.

The party noted that it is indeed appalling that the illegal Mai Buni leadership of the APC could, in their penchant for falsehood, go to the extent of falsely accusing the Justices of the Supreme Court of holding a meeting with PDP leaders allegedly to subvert justice, in a case, in which the PDP is not even a party.

The PDP stressed that the pronouncement of the Supreme Court, being the highest court in the land, has ultimately vindicated its (PDP) stand that the APC is a party of irresponsible, reckless and dishonorable persons, who only thrive in fabrications, falsehood, lies, blackmail and character assassination.

A statement by the National Publicity Secretary of the PDP, Mr Kola Ologbondiyan said it is shameful that after mismanaging its nomination process in the Imo North Senatorial bye-election, the APC leadership is seeking to drag the PDP into its vicious attempt to use the instrument of blackmail and character assassination against the justices of the Supreme Court to settle their internal scores.

The PDP said that while it is obvious that the APC is plagued with political cannibalism, infighting and backstabbing, it is shocking that it will carry its wild tendencies to this ridiculous extent.

According to the PDP; “The assertion by the Supreme Court that “if people as highly placed as the interim chairperson of the APC would open his mouth and make this weighty statement against innocent justices of this court…” places a huge moral burden and integrity question on Governor Mai Buni.

“Our party holds that the declaration by Supreme Court that the APC has been making such “useless statements” in the past further vindicates our stand that the APC is ethically challenged and should not have been entrusted with governance.

“Our party therefore demands that Alhaji Mai Buni should immediately resign as governor and APC chairperson, having been indicted by the Supreme Court, after which he should face the court to answer for his baseless and “irresponsible” allegation,” it said.

The PDP therefore charged the APC to leave it (PDP) alone and face its self-inflicted woes in the courts.
