The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) Governors Forum has alleged that the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) party is behind its series of misfortunes at the judiciary.
Recent separate court rulings have called for fresh elections in Bayelsa and Akwa Ibom.
The PDP Governors Forum in a statement alleged that Governor Aminu Tambuwal (APC, Sokoto) had drummed up support for the clandestine moves to overturn the victory of the opposition party in two of the richest oil producing states in the country.
The statement reads,
“The nullification of the election of His Excellency, Governor Udom Emmanuel by the Court of Appeal on Friday in Abuja should worry all those who truly desire good for this country.
“It is becoming increasingly clear that the APC is bent on foisting a one-party state in Nigeria and to do so, it is ready to compromise the judiciary, destroy every fibre of integrity and sanctity of the judicial process through state compromise of the judiciary.
“For 16 years that the PDP governed, it respected the right to opposition and did not balkanise the judiciary as we have witnessed in the past seven months of the APC regime,” the governors said.
