Some state Governors elected under the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) platform have said they are optimistic that the Supreme Court would reverse the judgement of the Presidential Election Petition Tribunal and sack President Muhammadu Buhari.
The Governors in a statement signed by its chairman, Seriake Dickson in Bayelsa on Sunday, poke holes in the judgement of the tribunal.
The tribunal had on Wednesday, dismissed the petition filed by the presidential candidate of the PDP, Atiku Abubakar for lack of evidence.
The PDP governor’s noted that if the ruling is not challenged, it would become a clog in the wheels of democracy in the country, which would send wrong signals for the future.
According to the statement: “After painstakingly & prudently understudying line after line, the tenets of the judgment of the election petition tribunal, we identified several holes and countless anomalies.
“It would be a greater disservice and moral injustice to our party, our democracy & the country if we chose to turn blind eyes, swallow such bile and applaud that rape of justice by the tribunal.
“The judgment of the tribunal, to say the least, has indeed painted our judiciary further with darker colours, and only this time around with a never-before-seen blemished coat of tar.
“However, we are hopeful that the Supreme Court will re-write that history by ensuring that such stains and tar are removed from our judicial archives.
“The apex court should know that its integrity is at stake and in order to avoid it been shredded to particles, must employ all known technicalities to save our nation and the future of Nigerians yet unborn from a development that may further make us a perpetual laughing stock amongst the comity of nations. And Nigerians are very hopeful that these wrongs will be righted.
“Without any iota of trepidation, it is most paramount for us to restate once more and reconfirm our undiluted loyalty, deserving support and maximum commitment to our great party and the Atiku-Obi presidential ticket. This is our stand, now and in the future. Posterity would judge us harshly if we did otherwise.”
