The Peoples Democratic Party has revealed that it has asked the Supreme Court to review its judgment on the 2019 presidential election petition.
Spokesperson for the party, Kola Ologbondiyan, disclosed this at a press conference in Abuja.
The party said, “Consequently, the National Working Committee of the @OfficialPDPNig, after comprehensive consultations, states that our party has no choice left, given the manner with which the @OfficialAPCNg 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 @OfficialAPCNg and her presidential candidate.”
PDP also said its national working committee had decided to seek the review of governorship election cases where it lost out.
However, Festus Keyamo has criticized the call by the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) seeking Supreme Court to review its rulings on the Presidential Election and governorship elections in some states.
Reacting, Keyamo described the call for review by PDP as a mockery of the judicial system.
The minister added that if PDP and its lawyers are not called to order by the apex court, they are bound to destroy the sanctity of the Supreme court and democracy.
Keyamo on his Twitter page wrote: “Until the Supreme Court bares its judicial fangs and recommends some unscrupulous lawyers engaged in this kind of mockery of the judicial system for professional discipline, we are going to destroy the otherwise inviolable sanctity of that Court and ultimately destroy our democracy.”
