The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) says it is confident that, guided by the legal provisions, the body of evidence, the circumstances, and the facts presented to it, the Supreme Court will render justice in the case as hearings on the February 25, 2023 Presidential Election Appeal begin.
The main opposition party claimed in a statement that the alleged rules and laws violations, blatant manipulations and falsifications, and perversion of the nation’s electoral process during the February 2023 Presidential election have put democracy in danger. The statement was signed by Debo Ologunagba, the party’s national publicity secretary.
The party claims that in the hope that the Supreme Court will apply the laws, including the express provisions of the Federal Republic of Nigeria Constitution of 1999 (as amended), the Electoral Act of 2022, and the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), Guidelines and Regulations in delivering substantial justice in the matter, Nigerians and, in fact, the entire world look forward to the Supreme Court for justice.
According to the PDP, Nigerians and supporters of democracy across the world are fervently hoping that the Supreme Court would utilize this case to firmly establish the adage that the judiciary is the final bastion 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.
