Zamfara: We’ll seek review of some elections if …PDP

The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has said it would call for the review of Supreme Court judgments on some of the elections held in 2019, if the apex court reviews its earlier judgment on the governorship and other elections in Zamfara state.

According to the PDP while the apex court had maintained that its decision were final in the earlier calls for review, the PDP had also stood by the decision of the court. 

The party National Publicity Secretary, Mr Kola Ologbondiyan, who said the Supreme Court should remain firm about its decision being final and not succumb to political pressure to breach its position.

The party in a the statement it released in Abuja said: “Our position in the PDP is that since the Supreme Court has declared that its decisions are final, Nigerians have come to accept it as such.

“But if the apex court, by any way or measure, goes after Zamfara for a review, PDP will be forced to seek for review of other elections that we believed were not fair on our side,” Ologbondiyan said.

When asked if the party had jettisoned its earlier decision to seek review of Supreme Court verdict on some elections including the Presidential Election, Ologbondiyan said.

“If you recall yesterday we issued a statement where we say the decision by the SC based on its own judgment is final.

“We also understand the antique of the APC government but our position in the PDP is that since the Supreme Court has declared that its decisions are final, Nigerians have come to realise that the decisions by the Supreme Court are final.

“But if the supreme court by any way or measures went after Zamafara for a review, the PDP will be force seek for review on other elections that we believed were not fair on our side.”
