The ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) has asked the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to tender an unreserved apology to the courts and judges for what it called the senseless, irresponsible, reckless, and unjustified attacks it mounted against the judiciary throughout this electoral cycle.
APC was responding to the outcome of Friday’s Supreme Court judgement on the Lagos, Kano, Zamfara, Plateau, Ebonyi, Bauchi, Abia, and Cross River governorship election petitions.
Party spokesman, Felix Morka in a statement assumed that if the PDP has any spec of decency left, it must tender an unreserved apology to the courts and the nation’s judges for the attacks it mounted against the judiciary throughout this electoral cycle.
He said the APC welcomes, with equanimity, the Supreme Court decisions on election petitions challenging the outcome of the 2023 governorship elections in eight states.
He also noted that while the Apex Court’s decisions will undoubtedly elicit mixed reactions and reviews, the decisions are final and binding on all parties to the legal contests.
In his words, the decisions today provide a strong affirmation of the authority, vibrancy, and independence of the judiciary.
He therefore congratulated the winners, particularly APC governors, Babajide Sanwo-Olu of Lagos State, Francis Nwifuru of Ebonyi State, and Bassey Otu of Cross River State, and wished them the very best as they continue to serve their states and the country
