As the Supreme Court commences hearing on the February 25, 2023 Presidential Election Appeal, the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) says it is confident that the its presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar, will secure victory and claim his presidential mandate courtesy of the apex court.
This is especially so as the confidence is based on the expectation that, guided by the provisions of the law, the body of evidence, circumstances and facts presented before it, the Supreme Court will deliver justice in the matter, said the PDP National Publicity Secretary, Debo Ologunagba, on Sunday.
According to statement issued by the party spokesman, “the PDP believes that the issues of the February 2023 Presidential election; the barefaced violation of rules and the laws, the brazen manipulations and falsifications in perversion of our electoral process have put our democracy in a precarious situation.
“Nigerians and indeed the whole world look 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 INEC Guidelines and Regulations in delivering substantial justice in the matter.
“The earnest expectation of Nigerians and lovers of democracy across the world is that the Supreme Court will use this case to firmly validate the maxim that the Judiciary is the last 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.”
