The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has again spoken on the Supreme Court judgement removing Emeka Ihedioha as Imo state governor.
The PDP reiterated its confidence in the possibility of the court to reverse its decision on the Imo state governorship election.
The party’s national chairman, Prince Uche Secondus, said all the justices involved in the matter have to review the judgment and correct “the error.”
Secondus said: “We are a nation governed by law, therefore, all we are seeking today is for our very highly respected jurists at the highest court of the land to revisit this issue.
“We are not against you, we’re against the error. And by the special grace of God, I know you will revisit the error. And all we are saying is that for you to review this error because the figures are not adding up.
“We are all human beings. God is the highest. We know that they worship God, all of us worship God. They should revisit and reverse the Imo state judgement because we believe that the figures are not adding up. That’s why we are here so that the world will hear us.
“We are a democratic nation, and therefore, all democratic nations of the world are hearing us – United States, United Kingdom, even the United Nations, the African Union and the Economic Community of West Africa States, ECOWAS.”
On his part, former Anambra state governor, Peter Obi, tasked APC national chairman, Comrade Adams Oshiomhole to recall how he became governor a few years ago.
Obi said: “I am speaking here, not just as leader of PDP but one of the beneficiaries being in government for 16 years for doing what is right. “I was in a minority party. I won the election and PDP did not intervene.
“I went to court, PDP did not intervene. I benefited from it. Adams Oshiomhole wouldn’t have been governor, he wouldn’t have been benefited from the judiciary if PDP did what APC is doing today.
“So as a beneficiary, I am appealing to the judiciary to save this country. What happened in Imo state is enough to kill our democracy. Let us ensure that the judiciary is the last hope of the common man. My appeal to APC: please, do not kill this democracy.”
