The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has warned the All Progressive Congress (APC) to stop insulting the judiciary saying the Judiciary has shown that it remains the window of hope for democracy to strive in this country.
The party said that the bold and patriotic approach of the Supreme Court of the land in the various tribunal cases goes a long way to show that it is indeed the last hope of the down trodden.
“Without such landmark judgments from the Supreme Court, perhaps there would have been no Nigeria and we salute them for their courage in delivering justice to the people.
“We therefore warn APC and the federal Government to stop insulting judiciary as there is nowhere in the world that a ruling party go about hauling abuses on the judiciary”.
The statement signed by the Acting National Chairman of the party Prince Uche Secondus, reacting to Thursday’s Supreme Court ruling in favour of PDP’s gubernatorial flag bearer Darius Ishaku of Taraba State, said all hope is not yet lost for democracy.
According to Secondus, the Supreme Court ruling not only establishes the judiciary as a utility arm in stabilizing the nation’s polity but as the voice of the voiceless.
“The ruling is a vivid reflection of the will of the people of Taraba State and goes a long way to show the strength of our party in the state.
While congratulating the Governor for his victory, the party charged him to remain resolute in delivering dividend of democracy to the people in line with the manifesto of the PDP.
He also congratulated the people of Taraba State for their resilience in standing up for democracy and charged them to remain steadfast in their support for PDP especially now that it has become obvious that the APC has nothing to offer Nigerians.
