Coalition hails Appeal Court judgment in Plateau election petitions
A coalition of civil society groups has commended the judiciary in Nigeria for living up to the expectations of Nigerians in the recent judgment delivered in Plateau on election petitions.
The coalition made up of the Northern Christian Civil Rights Movement, the African Patriots and the Guardians of Democracy, gave the commendation while addressing journalists in Abuja.
The group specifically commended the judiciary for the recent judgments in various election petitions in Plateau.
The convener of Guardians of Democracy, Adamu Kabir, expressed the coalition’s profound gratitude and appreciation to the justices of the Appeal Court for their unwavering commitment to safeguarding the principles of justice, equity and fairness.
“Today, we stand united to celebrate the triumph of the judiciary over the nefarious attempts by political parties to manipulate and undermine the rule of law.
“However, we, the Guardians of Democracy, stand firm in our belief in the judiciary’s ability to uphold the rule of law and deliver justice for all Nigerians,” said Mr Kabir.
Tobias Ogbe, the convener of the Northern Christian Civil Rights Movement, cautioned the PDP in Plateau to desist from the unholy enterprise in the interest of peace and tranquillity.
“It must be stated that the resort to cheap blackmail and propaganda serves no good and does not augur well for preserving democracy in Nigeria,” Mr Ogbe explained.
