By Emmanuel OloniruhaT
The Board of Trustees (BoT) of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) on Thursday expressed its confidence that the Supreme Court would right the wrong in the judgment of the Presidential Election Petition Court (PEPC) upholding the victory of President Bola Tinubu.
The BoT Chairman, Adolphus Wabara, reading the BoT communique issued at the end of the board 75th meeting in Abuja, rejected the judgment of the PEPC.
“The BoT restates its rejection of the judgment of the PEPC in upholding the declaration of the All Progressives Congress (APC) as winner of the Feb. 25, Presidential election, in spite of the evidence clearly pointing to the contrary.
“The BoT is resolved to take urgent steps to resists the current manifest desperation by the APC to turn Nigeria into a one-party state,” Wabara said.
He added that “the BoT is confident in the capacity and courage of the Supreme Court to ultimately and decisively right the wrongs and correct the manifest errors contained in the judgment of the PEPC.”
He commended the PDP Presidential Candidate, Atiku Abubakar for following due process of the law in his quest to retrieve the presidential mandate.
Wabara expressed concerns over the hardship, insecurity and general sense of apprehension across the country occasioned by the “hasty implementation of ill-planned policies” of the APC administration.
“The BoT is seriously worried over the continued fall in the value of the Naira arising from the ill-implemented policies of the APC with attendant devastating negative effect on the economy resulting in agonizing high costs and unbearable pressure on families,” he said.
Wabara expressing worry over the currently situation in the country, said that Nigerians look unto the PDP for solution and direction at the time.
“The BoT assures Nigerians that despite the challenges, the PDP remains united, stronger and more determined to continue to lead the charge to rescue our democracy and return our nation to the path of credible elections, Rule of Law, national cohesion and economic prosperity, “ he said.
