The All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA) has praised the judiciary for standing firm in defence of the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria and its statutes.
Reacting to the unanimous judgment delivered by the three Justices of the Appeal Court, Kano Judidcial Division, today the National Chairman of the party, Ozonkpu Victor Ike Oye, through the National Publicity Secretary of the party, Barrister Tex Okechukwu, described the judgment as a watershed in Nigeria’s political life.
He praised the Justices that sat over the case for their courage, uprightness and commitment to the promotion of justice, equity and fairness.
Ozonkpu Oye said that the judgement had renewed the hope of the people of the country in the judiciary and appeald to the National Judicial Commission and the Disciplinary Committee of the Nigerian Bar Association to ensure that any judge or lawyer found guilty of professional misconduct was brought to justice.
He used the opportunity to call on the Independent National Elelectoral Commission (INEC) to do the needful without further delay by publishing the name of Professor Chukwuma Charles Soludo as the rightful candidate of APGA for the November 6 Anambra State Governorship Election.
He congratulated millions of APGA supporters across the country, especially those of them in Anambra State, for their steadfastness and support.
He thanked the members of the National Working Committee (NWC), NEC and the BOT of APGA for their individual and collective role in stabilising the party while the distraction lasted, and appealed to them not to relent.
The APGA boss called on all those still feuding with the party to embrace common sense and peace and return to the fold, so that “together we will win the forthcoming governorship election as one united family.”
He thanked God almighty for the victory and appealed to every Nigerian to continue to trust in God in their hours of tribulation.
