SDP Relying On Failed Strategy To Discredit Judiciary

0 15

Kogi State Chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC) has said that the Social Democratic Party (SDP) relies on a failed strategy to discredit Nigeria’s Judiciary following their appeal to the apex court over the 2023 Kogi State governorship election.

The party, in a press statement signed by the director of Media and Publicity Committee of the Governorship Election Campaign Council, Kingsley Fanwo, said the strategy of the Social Democratic Party (SDP) has been to use the identity of the APC to claim judicial victory to compromise the course of justice by assuming APC is privy to future Judicial decisions.

Fanwo said, “This strategy was deployed during proceedings at the lower tribunal, and it failed. They brought the same failed strategy to the appeal proceedings, and it failed. Unfortunately, they have not learnt from their perennial failures. They are at their lying and propaganda best again.

 

“Their puerile and grossly unintelligent blackmail has continued to give them the result that represents the identity of the embattled party. The SDP’s blatant disrespect for the Judiciary, logic and truth has continued to put them on the precipice of ignominy.

 

“It is our utmost belief that court cases are won in the law courts and not on the rough streets of propaganda. Only those who know they have bad cases resort to propaganda. Our party and its candidate have put their defence before the Supreme Court and will allow the Honourable Justices to do their job. We will not prejudice the likely decision of the Supreme Court,” he stated.

 

“We urge the SDP and its propaganda amoeba to stop their attack on every institution of government. Our party is not interested in their macabre dance on the grave of lies, blackmail, propaganda, sensationalism and celebration of falsehood.

 

“The woeful attempts of the SDP and its candidate to prove their allegations at the lower tribunal and the Court of Appeal must have gotten the better of them. Their frustration is understandable but not enough reason to tarnish the image of our Honourable Justices. Those who come to equity must come with clean hands,” he added.

 

Fanwo urged APC supporters to remain undaunted, adding that the party believes in the rule of law.
