Atiku vs Tinubu: We’ll be victorious at Supreme Court – PDP tells supporters

People’s Democratic Party (PDP), says it is confident that, guided by the provisions of the law, the body of evidence, the circumstances, and the facts presented before it, the Apex Court will deliver justice in the matter as the Supreme Court begins hearings on the Presidential Election Appeal from February 25, 2023.

The hearings on the appeal are scheduled to begin today.

The most prominent opposition party issued a statement, which was signed by Debo Ologunagba, the party’s National Publicity Secretary.

In the statement, the party expressed its belief that the issues surrounding the presidential election that took place in February 2023, including the alleged violation of rules and laws, the brazen manipulations and falsifications in perversion of the country’s electoral process, have placed democracy in a precarious situation.

According to the party, Nigerians and indeed people from all over the world are looking 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 order to deliver substantial justice in this matter.

According to the PDP, the sincere desire of Nigerians and supporters of democracy in other parts of the world is that the Supreme Court would use this case to definitively affirm the adage that the Judiciary is the final 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 added in their statement.
