Press Statement
Taraba; Conclusive Evidence Of Judicial
Double Standard Against The PDP
Hajia Aisha Jummai Alhassan
The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) says Saturday’s
judgment of the Taraba state gubernatorial election tribunal in favour of the
All Progressives Congress (APC) candidate, Hajia Aisha Jummai Alhassan is
another evidence of executive interference in the judiciary.
The party said the reason given by the tribunal for
arriving at the bizarre decision is intriguing and further exposes the contradictions
and double standards inherent in most tribunal rulings against PDP interests
recently.
PDP National Publicity Secretary, Chief Olisa Metuh
said in a statement on Saturday that the Taraba state tribunal ruling again
brings to the fore the organized plan by the President Muhammadu Buhari-led APC
Federal Government to deploy all unorthodox means to decimate the opposition.
“It is rather curious and a great conflict of irony
that the Taraba tribunal sitting in Abuja on
security grounds faulted the conduct of PDP primaries shifted to the same Abuja on security
reasons”, the party stressed.
