Supreme Court saved APC from ‘major blow,’ says Buhari

• PDP restates rejection of verdict on Imo, ends protestPresident Muhammadu Buhari yesterday said the loss of the “strategically important” states of Kano and Plateau would have been a “major blow” had the Supreme Court verdict, which affirmed the elections of Governors Abdullahi Ganduje and Simon Lalong gone otherwise.

In a statement by its national publicity secretary, Lanre Issa-Onilu, the party said: “We know that the PDP will find justice served by our courts very hard to swallow because it has become accustomed to crooked manipulation of due process to its benefit and at the expense of the entire system. Weaning it from this bad modus operandi has proven difficult if not impossible. Every time the PDP loses in court, it declares the decision suspect and our democracy on life support.

Other PDP leaders who joined in the protest are Senate Minority Leader Enyinnaya Abaribe, former Imo State Governor Achike Udenwa, and some House of Representatives members including Chinda Kingsley and Obinna Chidoka. On his part, Obi said: “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. APC, please, do not kill this democracy.”

He added: “We have seen the worst of what they can do. They should await the judgment of the Almighty Allah, which they cannot avoid.” There was a sigh of relief in the camps of the PDP and the ruling APC as their governors retained their seats following verdicts.

Well I don’t blame APC, the party I blame are the PDPs who stayed in power for good 16yrs without archieving nothing for the country, now it’s Apc turn.. both parties are mad and their supporters 😡.
