Chairman of the Senate Committee on Petroleum (Downstream), Senator Kabiru Marafa (APC, Zamfara) has said the judgment of the Supreme Court on Zamfara APC politicians is sweet and bitter at the same time, but it is undoubtedly a victory for democracy, Zamfara State and Nigeria.
He revealed in a statement that it is a clear testament to the fact that the truth will always prevail.
The statement read, “Today’s judgment is a victory for democracy, triumph of truth over falsehood and redeemer of the integrity of the judiciary.
“As we all know, the APC was unable to conduct primaries in Zamfara State, following Yari’s thuggery and violent machinations. With this, lesson has been served that only strict adherence to the rule of law and due process will take the country to the next level, as being advocated by President Muhammadu Buhari.”
“The acting CJN and the Justices that delivered the judgment have, with this judgment, laid the foundation for the redemption of the battered image of the judiciary.“I would like to thank the judiciary, especially the Justice Tom Yakubu team at the Appeal Court and now the Acting CJN team in the Supreme Court, the courageous position of INEC, the unflinching support of the people of Zamfara State and my family for their wonderful support and prayers, my well wishers and admirers in Nigeria and the Diaspora for their overwhelming support.
“Judiciary remains the last hope of the common man, therefore, all hands must be on deck to strengthen it.”
PDP also praised the judiciary by saying, “God first, Nigeria second, must be our priority as trustees of the people.
“When justice prevails, the people rejoice, chains are broken, freedom is multiplied and society is enriched.”Abubakar expressed hope that the Supreme Court and the Justices would let justice have full reign in other petitions that would come before them and that good conscience, fear of God and the rule of law would prevail, saying: “In so doing, they will write their names for good on the sands of time and avoid the infamy that oppressors wish to thrust on them as their legacy.”
The former vice president congratulated Matawalle and the people of Zamfara State, who he said would finally have a government that would address the issues that have made life an ordeal in that state. The storm is over and peace and calm are coming to Zamfara.”
