The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) says it is confident that the Apex Court will deliver justice in this case, guided by the law’s provisions, the body of evidence, the circumstances, and the facts presented before it, as the Supreme Court begins hearing the February 25, 2023 Presidential Election Appeal.
The main opposition party stated in a statement signed by Debo Ologunagba, the party’s national publicity secretary, that it feels that the issues surrounding the February 2023 presidential election—the alleged breaking of laws and regulations, the blatant manipulations and falsifications in an attempt to sabotage the nation’s electoral process—have put democracy in jeopardy.
According to the party, Nigerians and indeed the whole world look forward to the Supreme Court for justice in the hope that the Court will apply the laws, including the express provisions of the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, 1999 (as amended), the Electoral Act, 2022 and the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), Guidelines and Regulations in delivering substantial justice in the matter.
The PDP said the earnest expectation of Nigerians and lovers of democracy across the world is that the Supreme Court will use this case to firmly validate the maxim that the Judiciary is the last hope of the common man.
“Nigerians are therefore optimistic in hoping that the Supreme Court will dispense substantial Justice according to law and fact in the Appeal,” the party said.
