Isaac Ayodele Fayose, the younger brother of the former Governor of Ekiti State, Ayodele Fayose, has lambasted the Supreme Court over delay in delivering judgments on the leadership crisis rocking African Democratic Congress (ADC) and the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
The apex court, on April 22, completed the hearing of the leadership tussle between the two major opposition parties and reserved its judgment, it was recalled.
However, the apex court’s five-member panel, led by Justice Mohammed Garba, could not set a date for the ruling after listening to arguments in separate appeals against earlier decisions of the lower courts on the matter.
But the 2027 hopefuls of the two opposition parties are raising concerns over the delay in the judgment of the Supreme Court as the deadline of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) for the submission of party membership registers draws near.
Reacting to the development, Fayose in a post on his Facebook page on Wednesday queried the motive behind the delay while President Bola Tinubu and other APC aspirants are picking up nominations forms.
“Nigerians cannot go into the election with just one presidential candidate,” Fayose said.
He said, “If the judiciary is really the last hope of a common man, the ADC and PDP judgment would have been delivered.
“Can you see the game? The president and others are collecting nomination forms in APC but they hanged the two opposition parties in the Supreme Court.
Supreme Court adjourned on April 22 till today where is the judgment? Nigerians are scared that you guys are no longer neutral the way things are going.
“The INEC deadline is near at hand, why are you holding the two major opposition parties?
“Whatever is affecting us in judiciary, will affect your extended family members. Nigerians deserve an alternative to ruling party. “We cannot go into the election with a one man show”.
