The Peoples Democratic Party has accused lawyers holding briefs for President Bola Tinubu and the All Progressives Congress at the Presidential Election Petition Court of engaging in acts aimed at intimidating the judiciary.

This is just as the main opposition party claimed that the alleged threats are contained in the lawyers’ written addresses before the election petition tribunal.

In a press release issued on Monday by Debo Ologunagba, National Publicity Secretary of the PDP, the party stressed that “The statement by the lawyers in the said written address threatening crisis and anarchy in the country in the event of the court ruling that their clients did not meet the constitutionally required 25 per cent votes in the Federal Capital Territory is subversive, an affront to democratic order and assault on the corporate existence of the nation.”

The statement said it is “Alarming and disturbing that the APC externalised to the public, their final written address in which they also threatened national peace if the court upholds the clear provisions of Section 134 of the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria 1999 (as amended) with regard to the mandatory and statutory requirements for which a candidate in a Presidential election can be declared the winner.

“The threats, either through counsel or officials of the APC are calculated to intimidate and harass the judiciary and indeed Nigerians.

“The PDP holds that the clear intent of the APC is to blackmail the court and emasculate the independence of the judiciary to discharge its duties in accordance with the dictates of the law. This action is ostensibly to set the stage to orchestrate violent crises in various parts of the country with the intention to further blackmail the PEPC.”

The PDP also questioned the rationale by the ruling party for making public the said written addresses.

“We ask, why is the APC externalizing their final written address to the public? Is the APC being pre-emptive and now seeking to heighten tension, subvert the judicial process and trigger anarchy, having realized the weakness of their case before the PEPC?

“The PDP however cautions and emphasizes that Nigeria is a country of rule of law. The statutory requirements for a winner in a Presidential election as provided by the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria 1999 (as amended) and the Electoral Act, 2022 are clear and unambiguous.

“The APC must therefore respect the provisions of the law and allow the judiciary to discharge its duties independently, without threats, intimidation and coercion.

“Contrary to the doomsday claims of the APC and its lawyers, upholding the provisions of the constitution and the laws at this point will rather promote peace and stability in the polity, deepen our democracy and engender confidence in the institution of the judiciary.

“The PDP calls on Nigerians to remain calm, alert and hopeful in the ability of the judiciary to dispense justice accordingly,” the statement further read.

Comedians!

PDP talking about intimidation?

when His Excellency, President Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu (GCFR) is done with PDP and LP, they will be so obsolete in 2031.

Asiwaju tactics can be compared to that of the United States. He is a perfectionist at "Breaking them from within"

We don’t need PDP to say this. We all should see the statement for what it is.

The person who said aggrieved parties should go to court is the same person saying there will be anarchy and chaos if the court invalidates his stolen victory because of 25% in FCT.

The earlier we know our country has been hijacked by criminals and thugs, the better for us all...but it's just for now because I know the judiciary won't mess up in their final judgment. They know the eyes of the world is on them.

Tinubu will make history as the first sitting president to be booted out of office.

PDP has been reduced to a party of press statement

President Asiwaju Bola Tinubu Jagaban, see them before they act, he knows what they are planning, he is a master strategist, the greatest politician that have ever lived in Africa, he know how to check perceived enemies, he used it against buhari and his cabals, he won, he pushed Peter girigory Obi inside the mud of defeat and cover him up

Lol

The same judiciary the pigs think will unseat the great Ashiwaju of Africa as president is what he is being alleged of intimidating now??


Is God not wonderful?

Tinubu and the APC knows that with the avalanche of evidence before the tribunal, they are going to be sent packing by the courts reason they now resort to blackmail, threats and hitting up the policy with a phantom anarchy and chaos.

The security agencies should be on red alert and ensure that Tinubu, the APC is held responsible for any anarchy and chaos that will emanate as a result of being sacked by the courts

Mene mene
Teke Parsin.


Like king Belthalzar, Druggie has read the Handwriting on the Wall.

His Days are numbers and the Kingdom (Aso Rock) is about to be given to Medes and Persians (Labour Party).🤨🙂

Tinubu should honorably Step down to avoid Disgrace.😕

Use your brain and not anus

meum:
We don’t need PDP to say this. We all should see the statement for what it is. What the APC did through its lawyers is pure intimidation & blackmail of the Judiciary. It’s okay to pray the courts not to invalidate your ‘victory’ at the polls but adding that there will be anarchy and chaos if the court does so is pure intimidation & harassment of the Judiciary. The statement by the APC is aimed at coercing the courts to do their bidding in order to avert an imaginary chaos & anarchy that will never happen.

It is too bad my brother. Should PO make that statement, APC would clamour for his arrest.

Tinubu istration is the UGM ( unknown government)

I buy and sell all kinds of coins and e/wallet funds. me today for a fast payout/transaction

We all know

You used INEC to give yourself victory over night. Instructing INEC to tell anyone that is not in agreement with the decision to go to court.

They have gone to court and you are still the one panicking and threatening with chaos and anarchy.

What do I know? This anarchy will favour me and my family.

Their plans will fail.
The Judiciary must be aware that this is a Litmus test for them. A test of character and Integrity to restore public confidence. A test to change the ugly public perception of them. To write the many wrongs and actrocities over the years
The judiciary must not compromise, they must not subvert or pervert justice. No.
Whoever wins, should be made the president. And if a rerun is needed then so be it. We are only worried about the financial implications of a Rerun

We will resist
